Anyway, thanks for the info, BluWacky! Now that I know they've got some names in Portuguese (my native language) on it I'm even more interested.
Now I am curious.
Since Bluwacky mentioned that there are Portuguese terms in here, the word:

セレソン - Se-re-so-n - Seleson (Closest english word)
To attempt a jp-eng translation closest I can think of would be 'selection', however the phonetical reading of セレソン - does it match the pronunciation in portuguese for the word 'chosen' or 'selected'?

I look at 'Selecao' and immeadiately think se-le-ca-o (ca as in 'car')
But who says Katakana is solely reserved for the english language

And I assume 'juiz' isn't pronounced the same way as english (J not as in Jump) :\

Would love to aurally hear the portuguese but while we're limited, was curious if you can give us a 101 pronounciation check up blue-kun.
