> there are 2 PO files:
> 1. distros/po/free-distros.pt-br.po
> This old PO file had been outdated for over two years; it is in good
> shape again, thanks to you.  The translated page will be automatically
> regenerated after the PO is uploaded.
> 2. licenses/po/fsf-licensing.pt-br.po (new PO)
> This note is used by several pages, that's why it is in a separate file.

> In fact, she may be using Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice and VLC

> look less strange to her than the new version of the proprietary software.

> She may agree to install a GNU/Linux distribution in double-boot. Or you
> could lend a spare machine to her if you have one. Make sure the desktop
> looks like the one she is used to. She will probably find that booting
> and shutting down are faster, that she is not bothered by popups
> anymore, that she can install a program without being afraid of
> installing an adware or spyware along with it, etc.
> 
> But in any case, she needs to be convinced that you are ready to help
> her, even if her problems look trivial to you. Visit the forums with
> her. She will learn about the community and pretty soon she will be
> happily faring by herself.

> Good luck!
