| # | Texto atual (versão EN) | Proposta corrigida | Porquê |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | We sell crust and finished leathers, with Chrome Free, Vegetable and Chromium Tanning. | We supply crust and finished leathers in chrome-free, vegetable-tanned and chrome-tanned versions. | No setor diz-se "chrome tanning" / "chrome-tanned", não "chromium tanning". É a frase de destaque da página inicial. |
| 2 | It sells leathers in crust and finished with vegetable chrome free tanning and chromium. | (frase eliminada: repete a anterior) | Sem vírgulas, lê-se "vegetable chrome free tanning and chromium", como se fosse um único curtume. Repete o que já está no destaque. |
| 3 | Bovine · Goat Skin · Horse (menu e categorias) | Calf · Goat · Horse | O original diz "Vitelas": em inglês é "calf" (calfskin), o termo que os compradores pesquisam. "Bovine" é genérico e "goat skin" escreve-se junto. |
| 4 | It operates in the national and international market maintaining a constant adaptation in favor of market trends. | It serves customers in Portugal and abroad and continually adapts its collections to market trends. | Decalque do português ("mantendo uma constante adaptação em prol das tendências"); não soa a inglês. |
| 5 | From generation to generation, the tradition of leathers has been present in the Castro family for three generations | Leather has been the Castro family's trade for three generations. | "From generation to generation… for three generations" é redundante; "leathers" no plural não funciona aqui. |
| 6 | The company assumes itself environmentally and socially responsible, having obtained in June 2021 the demanding certification by the LWG (Leather Working Group). | The company is committed to environmental and social responsibility and, in June 2021, achieved Leather Working Group (LWG) certification. | "Assumes itself" é decalque de "assume-se". A certificação LWG é o argumento mais forte para marcas internacionais: merece uma frase limpa. |

Leather has been the Castro family's trade for three generations. The experience of the older generation, combined with the boldness and innovation of the younger ones, has allowed the company to respond to the demands of a constantly evolving footwear industry.
The business began by trading leather and soon moved on to finished leathers, with the opening of its own warehouse — the origin of today's A. Castro & Filhos, Lda.
On the back of strong growth, in 2008 A. Castro & Filhos acquired new, modern facilities to meet rising market demand in both volume and quality. By then, the company was already supplying vegetable-tanned leathers.
Innovation and differentiation are part of the company's DNA. In 2015 it set up its own finishing unit, where it now develops and produces its collections.
The company is committed to environmental and social responsibility and, in June 2021, achieved Leather Working Group (LWG) certification.
