Breath test Explanation: The expression doesn't sound very good. However, that depends on the context. Can you be more specific/detailed (i.e., writing the whole sentence)? In French, it may be called "test respiratoire". If it concerns someone who was drinking and driving and was required by the authorities to do a "breath test", then it is called "TESTE DE ALCOOLEMIA". As I said, please supply more information. |

Teste do Balão Explanation: This is the translation in the current language in Portugal. Everyone says "soprar no balão" (blow into the breathalyser) but it can also be called "teste de álcool". The actual machine, to test the level of alcohol, is called "Bafometro". Hope this helps. |

Breath test Explanation: Although everyone in Portugal knows what "Teste do balao" is, it's a very colloquial expression. Hence, not applicable in this case. The technical expression is "teste de alcoolemia". |
