What has to change
- Accents differ on common words: Brazil writes "eletrônico" and "econômico" with a circumflex, where Portugal writes "eletrónico" and "económico".
- Everyday vocabulary differs: a phone is a "celular" in Brazil and a "telemóvel" in Portugal, a fridge a "geladeira" and not a "frigorífico".
- Prices are in reais, not euro.
