Source language: Portuguese

O mar bárbaro e o deserto dourado. O Homem, os Elfos, os Anões, o feiticeiro, a feiticeira, os duendes e as bruxas. A gota de orvalho, o machado de pedra, o apaixonado, o desgraçado, a sombra da noite. A casa de pedra, estrela da noite, terra bendita, floresta da paz.
Remarks about the translation
Estou a escrever um texto; por isso elaborei este pequeno texto onde existem certas palavras que gostaria de saber como se escrevem (e se possível como se dizem). Logo não se admire que o texto não faça sentido.

Target language: English

The barbaric sea and the golden desert. The Man, the Elves, the Dwarves, the wizard, the sorceress, the goblins and the witches. The drop of dew, the stone axe, the infatuated, the sorrowful, the night's shadow. The house of stone, night star, blessed land, forest of peace.

guilão,

Usually, "feiticeira" is translated by "witch". Compare this with that.

Ah yes, I forgot to say that later in the same text a "witch" witch is mentionned (bruxas) and I don't know how to deal with that

In this case, Webster's Online gave me "sorceress".

Just one more thing: as "feiticeira" and "bruxa" are quite synonyms in Portuguese, I suggest to translate "feiticeira" as "sorceress" and "bruxas" as "witches". "Feiticeira" isn't as depreciative as "bruxa".

"Deprecative" was what you meant, Oh Dear Goncy. Thank you again.

"Depreciatory", to be exact.
