RT uses gettext format for translation.

So, do an svn chekcout of current RT release:

svn co svn://svn.bestpractical.com/rt/branches/3.6-RELEASE

Look in lib/RT/I18N/ for the po file of the language you wan't to
contribute (pt_br).

Update it (using standard editor or dedicated po editor (kbabel,
gtranslator, plugins for vim, ..).

Check for errors with:

 msgfmt -o /dev/null -c --statistics pt_br.po

(msgfmt is a command from the gettext package)

Then make a patch and submit it here:

http://rt3.fsck.com/?user=guest&pass=guest

According to my stats, pt_br status is:

Language  Total strings  Translated  Missing  Progress  Msgfmt check
pt_br     1567           1145        422      73.07 %   ok


AW, thanks for your help on RT ;)
