Title	A palavra Halloween tem origem na Igreja...
Text Submitted by natalia garcia	Source language: Portaingéilis (na Brasaíle) A palavra Halloween tem origem na Igreja catÃ³lica. Vem de uma corrupÃ§Ã£o contraÃda do dia 1 de novembro, "Todo o Dia de Buracos" (ou "Todo o Dia de Santos"), Ã© um dia catÃ³lico de observÃ¢ncia em honra de santos. Mas, no sÃ©culo V DC, na Irlanda CÃ©ltica, o verÃ£o oficialmente se concluÃa em 31 de outubro. O feriado era Samhain, o Ano novo cÃ©ltico. Alguns bruxos acreditam que a origem do nome vem da palavra hallowinas - nome dado Ã s guardiÃ£s femininas do saber oculto das terras do norte (EscandinÃ¡via).
Remarks about the translation	dos EUA

Title	Halloween
Translation English Translated by lilian canale	Target language: English The word Halloween has its origin in the Catholic Church. It comes from a corruption derived from November 1st, "All Hallows' Day" or "All Saints' Day", which is a Catholic holiday to honor the saints. But in the 5th century AD, in Celtic Ireland, the Summer ended officially on October 31st. The holiday was Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Some wizards believe that the origin of the name comes from the word 'hallowinas' - the name given to the female guardians of the concealed knowledge of the northern land (Scandinavia).
Remarks about the translation	I didn't know what to do with this, so I edited the translation to the correct terms in English (All Hallows' Day), even though that's not what the Portuguese says.

I think I would personally have kept the Portuguese "Todo o Dia de Buracos" even in the English text: "Todo o Dia de Buracos" (or All SaintsÂ´ Day) But I liked your solution too! In the original text, it also says "acreditam" (alguns bruxos acreditam), which is in the present tense and should be "some wizards believe". I do, however, understand why you have chosen to write "used to believe"......
