It's just some terms that are really bad translated. For example, the
english verbs are quite simple, just a few conjunctions, in Portuguese the
same English version can have many different outcomes and meanings if not
in context.

You don't see people complaining in the open. Like I said I hear it in
training courses only.

Not sure about how their work is going. We use very different technical
terms. Sometimes it's quite hard to understand. So, there's no way we can
unite the languages or work together.
