Thank you Patrice for your patience and help.

I confirm that the texi2any '--init-file t2a_modify_translations.pm'
option works perfectly.

Some changes were mandatory: 'pt' does not work, as the input file,
'texinfo.pt_BR.texi', has an '@documentlanguage pt_BR' Texinfo
@-command.

That said, some words are being put in the HTML with strange
characters. Below are some examples:

Sum=C3=83=C2=A1rio should be Sum=C3=A1rio
Sumar=C3=83=C2=ADssimo should be Sumar=C3=ADssimo

However, some words are fine. Below is two lines to help understand:

<link href=3D"#SEC_Contents" rel=3D"contents" title=3D"Sum=C3=83=C2=A1rio">=
 <- that
line is wrong

<link href=3D"#Condi_00e7_00f5es-de-C_00f3pia" rel=3D"next"
title=3D"Condi=C3=A7=C3=B5es de C=C3=B3pia">  <- that line is fine

Indeed, the HTML output seems to lack the idiom statement:

<meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dutf-8">

But, it has an statement about the body of the document:

<body lang=3D"pt_BR">


Please, how can I solve that issue?

Thank you once more!
