The salary in Brazil is humiliating compared to Europe, the USA and others. The 
salary being lower and everything being 6x more expensive to buy compared to elite
nations, the government of Brazil still charges an IOF tax, which is an absurd amount,
completely bizarre. How can we do the translations in normal mode, and affordable
cost and efficiently? Developers could evaluate the strings and facilitate the translation.
Evaluate these possibilities. ——- O sálario no Brasil é humilhante perto da Europa,

em comparação as nações de elite, ainda o governo do Brasil cobra taxa, de imposto

em modo normal e com eficiência e custo acessível? Os desenvolvedores poderiam avaliar
os strings e facilitar a tradução. Avaliem essas possibilidades.`
