Lockpicking! Just. Lockpicking. [41.56]

Weird page translation
I don't know exactly why, but your PZ mod about lockpicking is very badly translated to Portuguese (which I assume was supposed to be Brazilian Portuguese). It seems like someone just used some auto-translator, like Google's. For someone who can speak both languages, it can get a little bit confusing. For someone who speaks only portuguese? I can't tell, but I think it gets even more confusing.

For instance: "Pick a lock" is getting translated to "Escolher fechadura", which means "Choose a lock" and has no other interpretations. It is easy to understand when you know both languages and reverse-translate it, or by interpreting the context. The best translation would be "Arrombar fechadura", or leave the original "lockpick", which is a somewhat well known term between gamers.

Overall, the whole mod page is weirdly translated. I don't know what you will decide, reverting to the original mod page, leaving the translated one as it is. I can't even find an option that allows me to see the original page, but this one is on Steam.

Anyways, good luck and have a nice day
