Portuguese to English: Charles e Ray Eames
General field: Art/Literary
Detailed field: Architecture
Source text - Portuguese
Os americanos Charles e Ray Eames são considerados o "casal de ouro" do design norte-americano pós-guerra. Eles foram considerados os pioneiros em multimídias e projetos avançados de móveis, arquitetura, design gráfico, fotografia e cinema. Passaram a utilizar novos materiais para época em que viveram, como madeira compensada e plástico reforçado com fibra de vidro, usados para baixar custos e democratizar as peças que vendiam.

Charles and Ray Eames are considered the "golden couple" of North American post-war design. They were considered pioneers of multimedia, advanced design and architectural projects, graphic design, photography and cinema. They used new materials at the time, such as plywood and plastic reinforced with fibreglass, in order to lower costs and make their creations available to everyone.
English to Portuguese: Coffee Growing In Ethiopia
General field: Other
Detailed field: Agriculture
Source text - English
Coffee has always been Ethiopia's most important cash crop and largest export commodity. A writer by the name of Harris wrote in 1844 that coffee trade from Ethiopia started five hundred years earlier when it was transported from Ethiopia to Arabia by a trader.

An Ethiopian monk known as Brother Thomas corroborated this story and described the exact route taken when the coffee was traded with Arabia. Travelers to Ethiopia in the early days noticed a large amount of coffee trees growing in some areas because the weather and nature of the soil make it ideal to grow there, which led many to believe that coffee originated in Ethiopia.
Translation - Portuguese
O café sempre foi o cultivo comercial mais importante e a maior comodidade de exportação da Etiópia. Um escritor chamado Harris escreveu em 1844 que o comércio tinha começado há quinhentos anos quando era levado por um comerciante da Etiópia para a Arábia.

Um monge etíope conhecido como Irmão Thomas confirmou essa história e descreveu a rota exata que era feita quando havia o comércio de café com a Arábia. Viajantes daquela época perceberam uma grande quantidade de árvores de café em certas áreas da Etiópia. As condições climáticas e do solo tornavam propício o plantio de café, o que levou muitos a acreditar que o café se originou na Etiópia.
