Language not recognized

[Pedro Albuquerque]

Hello again,

Maybe this is the problem, since the installer doesn't provide a Portuguese translation (why not ? ), and I'm obviously not going to use Brazilian, I choose English:

That means there’s another thing for you to check: Settings>Time and Language>Language and Region. The top box under Language has a drop-down showing the current display language. Make sure that’s Portuguese and not English.
