I im the Pt manager and translater, if you look into translation wiki
page you will see a PT team.

No, its not the same, there are major differences, there was an
orthograpgic agreement but that was never put in pratice since
continue exist words written differently, also exist words that exist
for brasilians and that dont exist of portugueses.
If you could have a look into mandriva cooker you would have seen that
exists aspell-pt and aspell-pt_BR.
I did mailed about it to mageia ML but i was told that was a thing to
be changed after freeze, still dont get why since this its not like an
update...

As said above they already exist, maybe you should have checked that
before revert the changes.

So please put back the pt translation back.

Also exists a pt and pt_BR translations for the existant .po files.
And by the way i did discussed this with misc before continue the
translation work and he also agrreed that would be correct to be
pt_BR.
I think you should really have checked first before undone all the
work i have commited.
You also need to create 2 different entries in the mageia webpage, one
for Portuguese and other for Portuguese Brasilian.
