Hello, Alain --
I do not have quite the environment that you have, so all I can do is 
ask a question of you.  Is it possible for you to have a suitable 
global setting -- and a different "preference" or "setting" in the 
applications which should be in Brazilian Portuguese?  That is, instead 
of changing the global setting, can you change the application setting?
