Eduardo,

Just FYI, the pt_PT lang-packs may also be of interest to a small (200) XO
deployment that has recently started in Mozambique.

I believe they are currently using the Brazilian lang-packs, but I would
suspect that pt_PT would be a closer match.  It is an interesting example of
a corporate-responsibility funded effort by a major US entertainment firm  (
http://xo.caa.com ) and the Mozambique firm that they buy their
carbon-offset credits from.  The support gang had the chance to hear from
the CAA rep (Rachael Kropa) that lead the deployment training recently.
When you have completed pt_PT, we should definitely make them aware of the
option.
