Mario Freitas Jan 31, 2016:
@ Teresa! Mais uma que tenho de acrescentar ao meu glossário PT-PT>PT-BR! Então está explicado. Obrigado.
@Mário Em PT(pt), chama-se retroversão ao que em PT(br) se chama de versão...
Mario Freitas Jan 30, 2016:
Versão Seria a tradução de PT para EN feita por um nativo de PT. Porém, retroversão, a meu ver, seria essa mesma tradução, considerando que o documento já foi antes traduzido de EN para PT.
