EXPAT

English to Portuguese Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs Immigration
I've never found a dictionary point blank to all its meanings. At times I don't sense in context a purport of an "exile","banned", but of a person living abroad pure and simple instead. Is that correct too? If so, how to throw it into Portuguese under this idea? Thanks.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Marlene Curtis, Ligia Dias Costa

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

expatriado

Um expatriado é uma pessoa que reside de forma temporária num país ou cultura distinta do país que foi educado, cresceu ou possui residência. A palavra provém do latim, ex (sin) e patria (país, nação).

O termo é frequentemente usado para referir os ocidentais que vivem em países não ocidentais, ainda que por vezes seja também e refira a ocidentais que vivem em outros países ocidentais, como por exemplo norte-americanos a viver na Inglaterra, ou japoneses a viver em Nova Yorque.
Peer comment(s):

agree Silvia Aquino : empresas que enviam funcionários para trabalhar em outros países também se referem a eles como expatriados. Brasileiros transferidos para a mesma empresa na Argentina, por exemplo, são expatriados.
