Does it work for Brazilian Portuguese?

Does the Portuguese translator work offline?

Yes. Download the Portuguese pack once and camera, photo, text and object translation work without a connection. Voice input uses your phone's own speech recognition, so it works offline only where your phone supports offline dictation.
