Hi Fernando.

In this case, you can follow pt-br; the missing files are referenced/included
directly from the English directory.

include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-committers.adoc[]
include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-corealumni.adoc[]
include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-develalumni.adoc[]
include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-portmgralumni.adoc[]
include::{include-path}contrib-develinmemoriam.adoc[]
include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-additional.adoc[]
include::content/en/articles/contributors/contrib-386bsd.adoc[]

You have to change this manually after translating with ./tools/translate.sh.

Regards.
