pt_BR translation for maps.me

[naoliv]

It is extremely desired to have pt_BR updated before the next maps.me release, since some of the current translations are making users insert wrong objects into OSM.

The current translation of the term "Book" in the Booking.com button in Brazilian Portuguese is "LIVRO", what is a name for e-books or paper books. The correct translation to the verb to book is "Reservar", so it would be very good to Maps.me and to Booking.com to have this commit merged and a new version of the app published as soon as possible. So the Brazilian users of mapsme would understand that they can book a room in a hotel and not read a book. ;-)

Hi,
Could you include the pt_BR language?
The Brazilian community needs this update to avoid mistakes on the map.
Thank you.

Hi,

Some users are importing personal information. A user put his own house and tagget it as historical and castle.

Please, let us update translation to pt_BR.

Hi @Zverik, could you take a look on this PR, please?

Hello,

It would be possible to add the pt_BR language to represent the Portuguese spoken in Brazil?

In the current version of the app also requests fill in the name of a store already identified. Moreover, adds the incorrect tag: name:pt

Hi,
It´s impossible to find any street with a name that starts with "Rua da" .

Could you verify this? Thanks.

One example of wrong data being inserted in OSM:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/kub

We don't have that much amenity=charging_station in Brazil.
People are wrongly using it (instead amenity=fuel) because the current translation is wrong.

Edit:
We will start to fix them (so the numbers will change).
Right now we have this:

171 nodes and 2 ways

http://mmwatch.osmz.ru/?country=Brazil&nolimit=1 says that 257 amenity=fuel were inserted with maps.me, against 201 amenity=charging_station (so it's clear that the current translation is confusing for the user)
