I've had the same problem but I was luck and the Spanish translation
was available. For 2.8 at least, there is a pt-BR.js on
OpenLayers.Lang.

Edit Scale.js shouldn't be the best solution, I think extending an
instance of the control and overriding the updateScale method using
OpenLayers.Util.extend (see example at [1]) should be better.
