I don't understand too much why you say this translation isn't good, because this is what it exactly means in French. So could you explain?

It's been changed since it was first posted, so I don't know which version people have been posting their opinions about.

Now it's wrong again, because "the darkness" is incorrect in English. It either needs to be "the dark" (meaning places without light), or "darkness" (meaning evil).

Aha - good point, pirulito, but in this context (with "angel", it means "evil". So which is it for "as trevas"? I don't speak Portuguese.

Sorry, teacher. It was very rude of me (fue muy grosero de mi parte).

So, I hope "angel of darkness" will satisfy everybody?

darkness ['dɑ:knɪs] : escuridade, escuridão, trevas.

The word “trevas” (f. plural) means darkness (escuridade or escuridão) and its connotation is evil too. My translation in Latin is “angelinus tenebrarum”. The “Anjinho das Trevas” is an evil spirit, a little angel of darkness.

Francky, je suis d'accord!

WOW! it is a never ending evaluation? What's wrong now with this so short text?
Should I edit with "little angel of the dark"?
This is a ranked battle between 15 for and 8 against , there must be a "consensus" mode on that short one, isn't it?
