Lilian,
jag kollade upp ordet "pedido" och fick fram "order" (på engelska) vilket borde översättas --> "beställning".

Actually, the original is poorly written. It should have been:
"Oi! meu nome é E. e estou fazendo uma solicitação/ um pedido"

Let me explain. In portuguese, like in English we have the verb "Solicitar" = to request, and the phrase "Hacer uma solicitação" = to make a request

The user mixed both (causing redundance) like if in English she had written:
"I'm requesting a request" See what I mean?

Although "pedido" may also mean "order", that's not the case, here it means "request".
Perhaps "begäran" would be better.

"begäran" låter bra Lilian

Aha, tack för förklaringen. "förfrågan" är nog mer likställt med "inquiry" (att tex. begära in en upplysning)

Jag har korrigerat, så kör vi en omröstning.

För att förtydliga: jag uppfattar "förfrågan" som en mer frivillig handling, det kräver inget gensvar, däremot "begäran" kräver svar alt./ handling.

If the original was "Oi! meu nome é E. e estou fazendo uma solicitação/ um pedido", she was just giving two options for the same thing.
"Beställning" is a quite fair translation.

Ok, thanks for more information

I can't see your vote here Casper. So the translation is ok, right?
