Portuguese to English Translator
Translate Portuguese to English, from Brazil or Portugal, with each Portuguese line shown beside its English version.
Machine translation can be wrong, especially for legal, medical and official documents. Use it to draft and understand; have a qualified translator review anything with real consequences.
What to watch between Portuguese and English
Brazil and Portugal
Both varieties are understood. Vocabulary differs (ônibus vs autocarro, celular vs telemóvel), and regional words may need a glossary entry to land on the English you want.
Você, tu and o senhor
Portuguese marks politeness through você, tu and o senhor/a senhora. English has one "you", so choose the tone to carry the register.
False friends
"Pretender" means to intend, "puxar" means to pull and "assistir" means to watch. Lock recurring terms in the glossary.
Going the other way? Use the English to Portuguese translator.
Formal or casual?
A polite request written in Portuguese, translated into English with each tone setting:
Could you please send me the report by Friday?

Portuguese to English: questions
Is this Portuguese to English translator free?
Yes. No account, no email and no paywall. Each request holds up to 5,000 characters, with a fair-use limit per visitor.
Does it understand Brazilian slang?
Common informal Brazilian Portuguese is understood; strong slang can come out literal, so check those lines.
Can I rely on it for official documents?
Use it to understand or draft. Certificates, contracts, immigration and medical papers need a qualified (often certified) human translator.
