(talking about the Agenda for the Meeting)
Is there a similar expression in Portuguese (Brazilian) or the literal translation would be fine??) Thanks for your help! |
| | | Nao e de forma alguma algo irrevogavel, e nada impede que seja mudado. | Explanation:
Although "clausula petrea" is a great equivalent, the linguistic register does not call for such level. I would opt for an intermediate level to maintain the same register.
If it is being translated into "brazilian-portuguese", we have the expression "escrito a ferro-e-fogo", however it is always used in a more enphatically manner. (I would not have any qualms using it here, depending on the nature/register of the text.) |
