It is usable, but it is not available out of the box right now.  You
need the SWIG interface of texi2any, which is only present in the
texinfo 7.3 release and is not built in the default case.  I have seen
that the Debian package seems to have a swig subpackage, but not the
fedora one.  You could also build form source.  That's for the GNU
Texinfo side.

On the po4a side, you need to get the git source, then add the branch
corresponding to the pull request I mentionned above, build and maybe
install.

That's because you need to remove the dot to the i to have a dotless i
and then apply the accent.  I attach a diff to txi-pt_BR.tex in your
sources that does that.  I used \ptexi to have a dotless i, as the usual
\i does not seems to work in Texinfo TeX.  You already used that for
\putwordNoTitle, by the way.

As a disclaimer, I am not really an expert on these Texinfo TeX subject.
