That is only for the time being until the fixed installer is mirrored
around the world.

Why? After telling you that it cannot translate to pt, what happened?
Didn't it start automatically in the English version? I would be
surprised.

That mirror selection is completely independent of the language. It
tries to select a mirror close to where you are, but that might not
always be optimal.

Thanks again, and please if you can, tell me what has happened after the
warning you mentioned.

Best wishes
