La phrase est la suivante :
XXX, um engenheiro que vira "General" ou "Doutor" dependendo da intimidade com os 40.000 funcionários....

French translation:"Docteur"
Explanation:
Eu colocaria "Docteur" entre aspas e depois faria uma NT a explicar o sentido da palavra "doutor" na língua portuguesa, que além de ser a palavra pela qual chamamos os médicos, é também a palavra que utilizamos para chamar a alguém que tem um curso universitário.

Explanation:
Les portugais ajoutent systématiquement le titre universitaire, mais je crois bien que ce sont les seuls.
Pour la France, on ne le met (presque) jamais, et il vaut mieux carrément ne rien mettre.

Pardon, portugais ou brésilien, cette habitude d'indiquer le titre n'est pas utilisée en français.

disagree  Ivana de Sousa Santos: A mon avis, la phrase en question n'aura pas de sens si on ne met "Doutor" et si on met "M." à la place.
