yes that is what i meant, i know it is hard to explain because Brazilian Portuguese is almost Spanish, so it is not hard even for me to Understand it but i know most of users of this Forum speak English, when i post the Videos most of the time i do it for the footage, so you can see footage of the machines Brazil makes, when i find something with subtitles is much better, it only talks about the Plans of making it and the facilities they are building in Brazil to start the production
