for all intents and purposes
We really need more of the sentence here, but the literal meaning is probably "for the purposes that may become necessary"
Usually in English you put both intents and purposes even tho' only purposes is in Portuguese.
You'll have to add to "for all intents and purposes.." if there's more to the sentence (...of law, for example).

to all intents and purposes
Given your limited context DSandin is probably right except it should be TO and not FOR.
"to all intents and purposes"
-----------------------------
This cliche (meaning "practically") is a shortening of the legal
phrase "to all intents, constructions, and purposes" (found in an
act adopted under Henry VIII in 1547). The corruption "for all
intensive purposes" is frequently reported.
