Good afternoon everyone,

I think I've started replying to your email directly, but probably got
unsent for some reason.

Unfortunately it hasn't been easy to resume my efforts on the Portuguese
translation team, for professional reasons.

I have no big issue against someone picking the KDE-I18N-PT team, as long
as I keep as a translator anyway, so welcome!

There's a big issue on the Portuguese translations, which is that they are
pre-AO90, so whoever who picks the translations will have to migrate to the
new Portuguese syntax, everywhere.

Once again, feel welcome aboard, and please someone as an admin might
provision access to João, please?

Best regards and sincere apologies

José Nuno Pires
