The Brazilian words should be replaced? For instance, this one https://www.infopedia.pt/dicionarios/lingua-portuguesa/jeca

Is it too unfamiliar for Portuguese people? For me, this one of the major rules: does someone needs to look at a dictionary to know what the word is/how is it spelled?
I'm not in love with any particular word, so we can change any of them if we can find a nice substitute.

I'm also Portuguese and can confirm that this word is unknown in Portugal, I even checked with older family members and they've never heard it before

Another example https://www.infopedia.pt/dicionarios/lingua-portuguesa/jenipapo. Well maybe this one is ok.

Since it's a fruit and there's no other name in Portugal I think it's ok to leave it there.
But if it's too strange for someone from Portugal we could think about replacing, maybe as low priority. The only thing is that it is now becoming hard to find good words that don't match previous word lists from other languages.
Also, another rule I didn't explicitly wrote (because it's not strictly followed) is that I tried to write mainly concrete nouns so people could use even photos to describe their seed. I think the less abstract the better. It was very hard to come up with this whole list, so maybe we won't be able to follow this rule for further replacements. But let's do our best.

@promag I really appreciate your review. I tried to reach Portuguese friends before to review the list I created but they weren't interested in doing it. I believe we can do a single word list for Brazil and Portugal. I checked for words that could have a great difference in spelling like "fato" and "facto", and also avoided words with special characters like "sinônimo" which I believe is "sinónimo" in Portugal. I don't believe Portugal have another word for jenipapo, if you do, please tell me. If possible, I suggest you to review to whole list with your Portuguese perspective so we can come to a mid-term for both countries. |

Can also be written as aspeto. Maybe replace? See https://dicionario.priberam.org/aspecto.

We have to replace this one, for sure. I didn't realize you guys use aspeto. Suggestions?
I'll reply the other ones shortly.
