I have no idea where to find such dictionary for portuguese.  Pretty
much all University textbooks are in English and students that can't
read it probably wouldn't even get there in the first place. There is
also this culture of consuming stuff in the original language it was
developed/written/filmed as well.

This will probably be easier for someone that actually studied
programming in Portugal. and uses applications in Portuguese.
I don't even know what word should I use for "tab" and had to go
check what is the standard for "zoom-out".
