Hi,

It's pretty hard to fin XO to sell here. Even on eBAY partner we can
see some announce but can't find really to buy :(

I would be glad to help you to recruit Portuguese translators. Soon
you decided to do it I can start. In the next few days I could help
you in translation as well since my contract here will finish and I'm
not looking for something else right now cause I already booked my
tickets to go to US. I don't know what I'll find later so might be a
long term help...

Let me know

Izabel
