Marcelo, you have simply to understand that the expression
“[add] local volumes”
can refer to one volume [if only one is present on your PC] as well as to many volumes, if there are some additional volumes present on your PC.
It is simply meant that way, all available local volumes are added, irrespective of the actual number.So you need to find a way to express simply the general action of adding “one or some more volumes” present on your system to the list.
“local” describes the difference to “remote” here, so it refers to all drives present on the PC standing right in front of you, and not network shares, NAS storage devices, Cloud drives and so on.

Thank you very much Skidoo, now I am absolutely sure that Zeh or PPC adapted the translation perfectly for the pt language and I must follow them in this adaptation for pt-BR.

“local” [..] refers to all
drivespresent on the PCLet’s be careful… It’s not that simple.
The quoted statement does oversimplify the issue and, therefore, risks being inaccurate / misleading / incorrect.consider: “logical volumes”, vs (physical) devices aka “drives”
The “Find Files” component does not discern, and the user probably does not care to consider:
Does the content of a target location “/home/Videos/” reside on “drive” /dev/sda?
If so, does it reside in partition sda1, or sda2 or…
…or
does /home/Videos/ currently map to a bind-mounted directory of a NAS or SMB share or…Given a pathstring “/home/Videos/, we respect the mapping, and we say (represent) “is Local”.
We do this regardless whether the (picklist) item “exactly” involves a partition (or a BTRFS volume…) or otherwise fancily bind-mounted location.zeh

saber vs conhecer (portugueseish)
Yeah, there are quite a few very tricky ones and this is a very good example.
Of course, all languages have their share of specificities. When I was at school I attended some German classes where I learned the terms kennen, lernen, and… kennenlernen… uff!…
In English the phrasal verbs are a nightmare for people whose mother language is Portuguese, being “set up”, the subject of this thread, a good example.
Not sure about what you meant with the Parkay oleomargarine. Something to help one swallow those “strange” concepts? If so, I totally agree.That was a strained attempt at humor.
“Parkay” and “Porky(Pig)” ~~ homophonically similar to “por que”.The reader struggles with both cognates (similar letter characters) and perceived homophones.
“Mommy, how do you spell banana?”
“You can do it. Sound it out, say the sounds…”We wound up with the word “buckaroo” (cowboy, herdsman) because our illiterate ancestors were culturally exposed to the spoken Spanish word “vaquero” (“vaqueiro” in Portuguese). When attempting to read a Spanish text, few non-natives would consider that a “v” would sound like a “b”. Instead, we scout for (real, or perceived) cognates and homophones…

video: “What ‘Despacito’ sounds like when you don’t know Spanish” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxs4tg9AfH8That was a strained attempt at humor.
I’d have to have been raised in the US to get that one 🙂
If you go to Spain and start talking about “vaqueros” you may get back something like “the best ones are Levi’s” 🙂
Don’t know how much you are into the language so, just to let it clear, in Spain nowadays “vaqueros” are just jeans.The videos are funny. Despacito in the ears of English speakers looks like it came directly from the Babel tower 🙂

Man, that “Despacito” video made me laugh! I wonder what the guy that made that video thinks of “99 Luftballons” or “Macarena”
