GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:clip
English translation:clip

IT (Information Technology)
Portuguese term or phrase: clip
European Portuguese, from a promotional text for a classified ad website:

"Crie um clip e insira-o no seu web site"

Sorry... no further context. The text talks a lot about linking your website to the classfied ad website.

Can anyone familiar with IT/Internet terminology in Portugal point me in the right direction on what "clip" means, and/or how to translate it into U.S. English?

Thanks in advance...

Probably a 'video clip' - could be a 'sound clip' - no way of telling without the non-existent context.

agree  sula (X): if you don't know then stick with 'clip''. In portuguese 'clip' can also mean a text clipping. Most likely it's a video clip.
