You setup the website, you provide the Portuguese names and descriptions 
for your content types.

*You can!* *Beleive me!* Go try 
http://www.liberal-social.org/admin/content/types (your URL comes from 
the issue you also submitted a few hours ago). How should I explain that 
you should edit your *content type names and descriptions* not your 
static string translation, which is not applicable here?
