Portuguese video localization, for Brazil and Portugal.

Brazil and Portugal share a language and little else on screen. We cast the voice for the market you are selling to and adapt the script, the vocabulary and the on-screen text.

Portuguese accents we cover

We cast real voice talent for each Portuguese profile. Brazil and Portugal have their own pages.

  • Brazil

    The largest Portuguese-speaking market, with its own voice, vocabulary and rhythm.

    The Brazil page

  • Portugal

    A European Portuguese voice and script, for audiences who dislike hearing the Brazilian one.

    The Portugal page

  • Angola and Mozambique

    African Portuguese voices for campaigns aimed at those markets.

What we adapt for Portuguese

Two big markets, two ways of saying the same thing.

  1. 01

    Vocabulary

    Ônibus or autocarro, celular or telemóvel: the word changes with the country, on screen and in the voice.

  2. 02

    Address

    Brazil says você, Portugal often uses tu or the third person. The script commits to one.

  3. 03

    Sentence shape

    Brazilian Portuguese leans on the gerund and Portuguese from Portugal on the infinitive, so a line is written, not converted.

  4. 04

    Text length

    Portuguese runs longer than English, and captions are rebuilt to fit.

Portuguese questions

Can a Brazilian version serve Portugal?
It can be understood, but it will sound foreign to many listeners. We recommend a separate version when Portugal is a target market.
Which version first?
Brazil is the larger market. We build the second version from the first, so the second costs less than starting over.
Do you cover Angola and Mozambique?
Yes, with African Portuguese voices, cast for the country in the scope.
