Fw: F9 and website translations

[Teseu]

To translate to Brazilian Portuguese we have many ideas and a good
discussion. We agreed that the original meaning and common sense would be
the best solution, because just say "making waves" in Portuguese is not what
the slogan is saying in English.

I think just like Ignacio, it's negative only if the changing is negative,
and all changes brings some disturbance and always people who don't want it.
It's the way the things are, but this is a good change and we have to show
this.
