is that method acceptable for the Brazilians?

try:

if [ -e "$BUILD_DIR/../doc/$LANG_CODE"/welcome_message.txt" ] ; then
   cp "$BUILD_DIR/../doc/$LANG_CODE"/welcome_message.txt \
     /usr/local/share/osgeo-desktop/
else
   cp "$BUILD_DIR"/../desktop-conf/welcome_message.txt \
     /usr/local/share/osgeo-desktop/
fi


then if the translated version exists it will be used, otherwise it
will default to copying in the english version.
this assumes the DVD builder will be local..


original welcome_message.sh should always be copied, and duplication of
english version with desktop-conf/ is to be avoided. (correct way is to
remove the duplicated version from doc/en/, then if desired (I'm not sure
it is) 'svn move' from the desktop-conf/ dir; this way full svn history
is preserved and there is only one master file to edit. if duplicate is
absolutely needed, tell svn to use a symlink)
