Portuguese uses Latin while Japanese uses Japanese kana and kanji. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Portuguese belongs to the Indo-European family while Japanese belongs to the Japonic family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Portuguese follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Japanese follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
Portuguese: Approximately 280 million speakers worldwide, with about 230 million in Brazil and 10 million in Portugal. Japanese: Approximately 128 million speakers, predominantly in Japan.
