Source text - English Who does not have great knowledge about how to produce whiskey can be led to think that there are many differences between Scotch and Irish whiskey. In fact, both are made the same way and using the same methods and materials. However, the fact that they are regions with different characteristics, makes the end result remarkably different.
Irish whiskey is produced based on a very diverse lot of cereals, where the main is the malted barley, contributing with 50%, and the remaining distributed by the normal barley, wheat and rye. A difference between Irish whiskey and Scotch is that the Irish is submitted to a triple distillation during the process, which makes the percentage of alcohol higher. However, whiskey from Ireland must also have a minimum volume of 40% alcohol, to legally have that denomination. The features that have to be respected to make the authentic Irish whiskey are mostly:
Distillation and aging of the liquid must be held in Ireland;
Whiskey aging period in oak bark must have a minimum of 3 years;
The minimum volume of alcohol, as noted above, is 40%.
Translation - Portuguese Aqueles que não têm conhecimento especializado tendem a julgar que existem diferenças consideráveis entre o processo de produção do Scotch e Irish whiskey. Na verdade, ambos são produzidos com recurso aos mesmos métodos e materiais. Aquilo que os diferencia, e faz com que o resultado final seja profundamente diferente é o facto de serem produzidos em regiões com características bastante díspares.
O Irish whiskey é produzido com base num lote muito diversificado de cereais, sendo o principal a cevada maltada (que contribui com 50%), e os restantes distribuídos por cevada normal, trigo e centeio. Uma diferença entre o Irish whiskey e o Scotch é que o Irlandês é submetido a uma tripla destilação, o que lhe confere um percentual de álcool superior. Ainda assim, para que possa ser legalmente designado como Irish whiskey, este também deve ter um volume mínimo de 40% de álcool. As principais características para produzir um autêntico Irish whiskey são:
Os processos de destilação e envelhecimento têm de ser realizados na Irlanda;
O período de envelhecimento em barris de carvalho deve decorrer ao longo de pelo menos 3 anos;
Tal como acima mencionado, o volume mínimo de alcoolémia tem de ser de 40%.
English to Portuguese: "About us" webpage
Source text - English Whisky Flavour was born from a Whisky Lover’s desire to taste and know different kinds of whiskies in the most convenient and affordable way possible. Sometimes it isn’t wise to buy (or should we say invest?) a whole bottle of whisky that you are curious about or you wanted to try for a long time, but never been able to taste it before. It is possible that your expectations cannot be exceeded. So, for all whisky lovers just like us that are interested in tasting different bottles, brands and ages of whisky, we created Whisky Flavour. We truly believe this is a solution that makes it possible to taste different types of whisky without the long term compromise that a normal bottle involves.

Translation - Portuguese A Whisky Flavor nasceu do desejo de um amante de Whisky de provar e conhecer diferentes tipos de whiskies da maneira mais conveniente e acessível possível. Por vezes não é aconselhável que compres (ou devemos dizer investir?) uma garrafa inteira de whisky que estás curioso ou querias experimentar há muito tempo, mas nunca conseguiste provar. É possível que as tuas expectativas não possam ser ultrapassadas. Assim, para todos os amantes de whisky que, como nós, estão interessados em provar diferentes garrafas, marcas e idades de whisky, criámos a Whisky Flavour. Acreditamos verdadeiramente que esta é uma solução que torna possível degustar diferentes tipos de whisky sem o compromisso de longo prazo que uma garrafa envolve.
A Whisky Flavor tem 3 tipos de caixas de subscrição mensal de whisky compostas por 4 miniaturas originais. Desta forma, podes satisfazer a tua curiosidade (e enriquecer o teu repertório).

Source text - English The DIALLS project started in May 2018 and was a three-year project funded by the EC’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation fund, within the topic ‘Inclusive, Innovative and Reflective Societies’.
The aims of the project were to teach children in schools from a young age to engage together in discussions where they may have differing viewpoints or perspectives, to enable a growing awareness of their own cultural identities, and to be sensitive not only to their own identities and cultures but also to empathise with those of others.
Our team included: cultural studies and civic education experts, teacher educators, psychologists and literacy specialists from ten universities in nine countries. We have proudly included Israel as an associated country to think beyond geographical borders and consider issues of culture, heritage and identity as they extend beyond merely European concepts. We worked closely with teachers and their classes in seven of the countries.
As part of the project we developed resources for teachers and researchers.
Translation - Portuguese O DIALLS teve início em Maio de 2018 e é um projeto trienal financiado pelo fundo de investigação e inovação Horizon 2020 da CE, no âmbito do tópico “Sociedades Inclusivas, Inovadoras e Reflexivas”.
O DIALLS teve como objetivo ensinar crianças em idade escolar a participar desde cedo em discussões em que possam coexistir diferentes pontos de vista ou perspectivas, permitindo que desenvolvam, aos poucos, consciência das suas próprias identidades culturais e a capacidade de ser sensível não só às suas próprias identidades e culturas, mas também de empatia para com a identidade cultural do outro.
A nossa equipa incluiu: especialistas em estudos culturais e educação cívica, formadores de professores, psicólogos e especialistas em literacia de dez universidades em nove países. Orgulhamo-nos de ter incluído Israel como país associado, para que possamos pensar para além de fronteiras geográficas e considerar questões de cultura, herança e identidade na sua extensão mais ampla para além de conceitos meramente europeus. Trabalhámos de forma bastante próxima com professores e as suas turmas em sete países destes países.
Como parte do projeto, desenvolvemos recursos para professores e investigadores.
