ABOUT THIS PAIR

English ↔ Portuguese - one language, two big standards.

Portuguese has over 250 million native speakers and is official in nine countries, from Brazil and Portugal to Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde. Brazilian and European Portuguese share grammar and most spelling, but differ in pronunciation, everyday words and how you address people: a bus is an ônibus in Brazil and an autocarro in Portugal, and Brazilians say você where Portuguese speakers often say tu. translator.im defaults to Brazilian Portuguese, the variety most readers use, and switches to European Portuguese when you ask.

WHY TRANSLATOR.IM

A Portuguese translator that picks the right Portuguese.

Most translation mistakes in Portuguese are not grammar errors - they are words and forms that are correct in one country and odd in another. The AI keeps track of which Portuguese you are writing for.

Context-aware AI

The model reads whole paragraphs, so it gets gender agreement, verb tenses and idioms right across sentences instead of translating line by line.

Paragraph-level context

Brazilian or European

Brazilian Portuguese is the default. Add 'European Portuguese' or 'for Portugal' and you get autocarro instead of ônibus, casa de banho instead of banheiro, and Portugal-style pronoun placement.

BR default · PT on request

Você, tu or o senhor

Portuguese has several ways to say 'you', and the right one depends on the country and the relationship. Say 'formal' or 'casual' and the model chooses the matching form and verb endings.

Formal or casual

Accents done right

Every ã, õ, ç, á, ê and à is in place, following the current unified spelling. Paste straight into email, Word or WhatsApp.

Unicode-clean output

Voice mode

Tap the mic, speak English in Chrome, Edge or Safari, and get Portuguese text. Press Listen to hear it with your device's Portuguese voice.

Speak, then translate

TIPS

Tips for better English to Portuguese translation.

Three quick habits that make a big difference.

  1. Name the country

    If your reader is in Portugal, Angola or Mozambique, add 'European Portuguese' to your request. Otherwise you will get Brazilian Portuguese, which is perfectly correct but may sound foreign to readers in Lisbon.

  2. Say who you are writing to

    Brazilians mostly use você; in Portugal, tu is common with friends and o senhor / a senhora with strangers and elders. Add 'formal' or 'casual' and the verbs and pronouns will match.

  3. Mention the gender when it matters

    Portuguese adjectives and some phrases change with gender - a man says obrigado and a woman says obrigada. If the text is about you, say 'I am a woman' or 'I am a man' so the endings agree.

Brazilian Portuguese by default, because most Portuguese speakers live in Brazil. Add 'European Portuguese' or 'for Portugal' to your text and the vocabulary, pronouns and phrasing will follow Portugal's standard.
What are the main differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Pronunciation is the biggest one, followed by everyday vocabulary (ônibus vs. autocarro, celular vs. telemóvel, trem vs. comboio) and forms of address (você vs. tu). Brazil also uses 'estou fazendo' where Portugal says 'estou a fazer'. Written grammar is otherwise very close.
