Brazilian diaspora congregations are some of the most vibrant multilingual church communities, and Portuguese-speaking members in English-language churches benefit enormously from live translation.

The Portuguese-speaking diaspora
The Brazilian diaspora in the UK is concentrated in London (particularly Southwark, Lambeth, Brent) and has grown significantly since the 2010s. Brazilian evangelical and Pentecostal churches are among the fastest-growing congregations in London. US cities with large Brazilian communities include Boston, Miami, and New York.
Bible availability in Portuguese
Portuguese has numerous Bible translations including the Nova Versão Internacional (NVI-PT), Almeida Revista e Corrigida, and the Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje. Both Brazilian (pt-BR) and European Portuguese (pt-PT) are supported.
Using Voco for Portuguese church translation
