Or even basic thingh as pronouns. For example, they speak in the third person

English - Portuguese - Brazilian Portuguese

Let me go with you to the bank -
Deixa-me ir contigo ao banco
Me deixa ir com você no banco

Do you still love me?
Tu ainda me amas?
Você ainda me ama?

Yes, I still love you.
Sim, eu ainda te amo
Sim, eu ainda amo você

We are familiar with Brazilian because of soap operas, but they need subtitles for our movies and series.

Many people in Portugal have no access to articles, book and app translations in Portuguese because since the 80's their government has developed a program to aggressively lobby for the supremacy of their dialect, claiming it's only an "accent", when in fact it is a fully different dialect, more distinct than Slovak from Czech.

Fore example, in Wikipedia, Brazilians can edit any article about Portugal but we are strictly limited of introducing European syntaxis in their arcticles. You add some info to a Brazilian artcile, soon it will be rephrased into PT-BR. A Brazilian does the same in an article about, say, a Portuguese player and you rephrase, in a few days you'll have an admin warning that you can not do that.

There was a debate a couple of years ago, because they changed the Euro' 2004 title to Eurocopa 2004 and they locked the article claiming that there were more Brazilian Portuguese speakers (180 millions) than European Portuguese (10 million in Portugal plus 30 million all over the world - North America, Africa, communities in France, Germany and UK, etc.).

EDIT: Right now they've opened a Portuguese Forum here and I see stuff like a section named "Vitrine de Times"... ??? I can barely figure what the hell is it.

Hi Sergey,

Ukrainian language will indeed be removed on September 14th and, as Cat Harrison already explained, this decision has nothing to do with some of the extreme words that can be found in this thread.

We were sorry to see that some languages, including Ukrainian, were hardly used. Instead, many of the Managers were using English mainly, although they could play in those languages. Taking this decision was tough, particularly in regard to the ones playing in the affected languages, but it will allow us to put more focus in the quality of the remaining languages and of the game more generally.

We understand your frustration and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience. However, we also hope you will understand our position and will keep playing Top Eleven.

I am Portuguese and I barely use Portuguese-Portugal. I'll explain you why.

I've contributed with many translations but they won't change existing terrible mistakes.

I've also wrote extensive mails explaining what's wrong, even showing them examples of documents from the Portuguese FA and UEFA but since the Chief Reviewer is Brazilian and despite she has no experience in Portuguese from Portugal she is very reluctant to change a list of stuff that doesn't exist in our country, namely the Glossary.

don`t forget Jam in English but American`s call it Jelly

We call it Jam here too, but yeah Jelly is probably the preferred.

I've officially changed my language to British English. I'm hoping it uses the term "Cheeky Nandos" and "Bullocks"

Don't let me down Nordeus!
