How the Spanish and Portuguese editions preserve the shared data, source links and original dates.
Language versions share the same data
The Spanish and Portuguese pages use the same goal ledger, match archive, honours records and live fan poll as the English site. A translation never creates another goal, trophy or vote.
English originals and source links
Article and news dates remain the dates of the original reports. Source links lead to the original publisher, whose page may be in another language. Statistical definitions, counting rules and coverage dates are unchanged.
European Portuguese football terminology is used. Dates retain their stated timezone, and decimal and thousands separators follow the selected language.
Translation assistance and corrections
These language editions use machine-assisted translations with editorial terminology and data checks. They are not a claim that every sentence has been professionally translated. If wording is unclear, compare the English original and send us a correction.
Translation assistance uses the University of Helsinki’s OPUS-MT models under CC BY 4.0. Site terminology and reviewed wording take precedence over automatic drafts.
