Portuguese term or phrase: Acta da reuniao do CCAI Alargado
No, I am not branching out into other languages! ;-)

This is a bit which was left untranslated in my French-English document. I imagine it's Minutes for the Meeting, but alargado is an adjective in your beautiful language... is it also a city? or am I completely off-base? thanks so much.

English translation:Minutes of the Extended Meeting of the CCAI - or possibly "continued"
Explanation:
It could be two different things:

An extended meeting is one that addresses items not normally included on its agenda.

It could also be "continued": According to parliamentary procedure, a meeting is "continued" when it is re-convened after a break. In that case, however, there is typically one set of minutes, not two.

I just noticed that "Alargado" is masculine. However, that doesn't change things very much because there are no masculine nouns in the phrase.

Explanation:
:) Something wrong with the original, unless Alargado has other meaning in PTPT (I don't believe)

Muriel: "Alargada" is used in Portugal - alargar is also adiar, postergar, incredible!

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: I mean, if it's "postponed," then wouldn't the Portuguese be "postergada" rather than "alargada"?

  -> Thanks, Humberto!
agree  Donna Sandin: I think it's probably "continued" but I probably would have used "extended" at first glance - I'm sure it's one that was reconvened on another day after the first session had been adjourned temporarily
