Re: Portuguese Translation Team (pt)

[Juliano Camargo <julianosc protonmail com>]

Thank you Claude!

I appreciate the faith put in me. You don't need to be worried about that, I am too old to start to act like 
a selfish child. If some Portuguese step in, I would be glad to resign.

As I stated before, just want to help where it is needed. In fact, it could be sooner than you imagine. Till 
then, I will be counting on you Fontenelle and I appreciate your attitude too.

Best regards,

Juliano Camargo
