Word count and sentence construction vary greatly from language to language. For example, the translated version of an English document is typically **15–25% longer in Portuguese**. While this will not affect your translation costs (as we base our fees on the source language), this means that we won't have a final word count or time estimate for your foreign-language recording until the translation is complete. At that time, we will send you an updated invoice for your approval. This awareness should help you plan your timeline and budget more accurately.

Roughly speaking, the differences between European Portuguese and standard Brazilian Portuguese are comparable to those found between British and American English. Today, Portuguese is one of the world's major languages, ranked seventh by the number of native speakers (estimated between 205 and 230 million). Portuguese is the official language of Angola, **Brazil (population updated)**, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, **Portugal**, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Mozambique. It is also one of the official languages of East Timor (with Tetum) and the Chinese special administrative region of Macau (with Chinese). Small Portuguese-speaking communities subsist in former Portuguese overseas territories such as Macau (spoken by 7% of the population) and East Timor (13.6%). The language is also spoken by substantial immigrant communities in Andorra, Australia, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Japan, and the U.S. states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island, among others. There are also significant populations in Canada, Bermuda, and the Netherlands Antilles.

Portuguese is an official language of several international organizations, including the **Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP)**, the European Union (EU), Mercosul, and the African Union. The Portuguese language continues to gain popularity as a second language for study across Africa, Asia, and South America.
