In Portugal, Captain Marvel (2019) is translated to Capitão Marvel, which is the male term for captain, female being capitã.



Is there a reason for this, or just a gross mistake from portuguese translators? I'm not brainfarting when I assume Captain Marvel is the female protagonist, am I?






title translation captain-marvel

Ok, in English this is gonna be weird to explain, but as this link explains, it has to do with the official patent designation.



In Portugal there is the woman "Primeiro-Ministro" (Prime-Minister in Male form), and a woman "Presidente" (President in Male form).



What is officially registered for the post is "Capitão" (Captain), and as Carol Denvers is a former air force pilot, that's what she is called. There is no "Capitã" for any post in the air force.
