Amostra preparada pela Alvuo Labs a partir do texto público de domingossousa.pt (versão inglesa, consultada a 15-11-2026). O site abre em inglês para todos os visitantes, mas o lema repetido no fundo de todas as páginas tem um erro de preposição, os títulos das páginas (o que aparece no separador do browser e no Google) ficaram em português, e várias frases são traduções literais ("always had the conscience", "There was concern in recent investment plans"). Abaixo: 8 correções e as páginas About us, Experience and Know-how e Technology & Innovation revistas.
| # | Texto atual | Proposta corrigida | Porquê |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SIX DECADES OF EXPERIENCE ON THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY | SIX DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY | Lema na Home e no fundo de todas as páginas: em inglês a experiência é "in" uma indústria, não "on". |
| 2 | Títulos das páginas inglesas: "O QUE FAZEMOS", "TECNOLOGIA E INOVAÇÃO", "TOALHAS DE BANHO" | "WHAT WE DO", "TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION", "BATH TOWELS" | O título (tag title) é o que aparece no separador do browser e como link azul nos resultados do Google; um comprador que pesquise em inglês vê a página em português. |
| 3 | Domingos de Sousa & Filhos, S.A. always had the conscience of passing along, through 3 generations, the values… | Over three generations, Domingos de Sousa & Filhos has made a point of passing on the values it considers essential: | About us: "conscience" é a consciência moral ("ter a consciência pesada"); "ter consciência de" diz-se "be aware of". Aqui o sentido é "fazer questão de". |
| 4 | …having the national and former colony clients as its main markets. | …selling mainly to customers in Portugal and its then overseas territories. | About us: construção à letra do português ("tendo como principais mercados…"); em inglês fica pesada e "former colony clients" lê-se como "antigos clientes". |
| 5 | The constant investment and experience acquired during 50 years make DS a reference… | Constant investment and more than 60 years of experience have made DS a benchmark… | Experience and Know-how: o lema diz "six decades" e a empresa começou em 1961 (65 anos); "50 years" contradiz o resto do site. |
| 6 | There was concern in recent investment plans to acquire equipment of the latest technology. | Recent investment plans have focused on acquiring state-of-the-art equipment. | Technology & Innovation: tradução à letra de "Houve a preocupação de…"; em inglês "concern" sugere preocupação no sentido de problema. |
| 7 | …terry towels … for bath, beach, kitchen, community (hotels, hospitals) and bathrobes. | …terry towels for bath, beach, kitchen and contract markets (hotels, hospitals), as well as bathrobes. | Technology & Innovation: "community" é o "comunidade" do português; em têxtil-lar o canal hoteleiro/hospitalar chama-se "contract" ou "institutional". Os roupões não são um uso das toalhas. |
| 8 | GOTS (Global Organic Textil Standard) · creative finishings · reuse millions of liters … rationalization … fibers | GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) · creative finishes · millions of litres … rationalisation … fibres | Sustainability / Technology: o nome oficial da certificação tem gralha; "finishings" não se usa no plural; o site mistura grafia britânica e americana — convém escolher uma. |
Domingos de Sousa & Filhos, S.A. is a family-owned textile company based in Guimarães, Portugal. It was founded in 1961, when production was almost entirely by hand and the company sold mainly to customers in Portugal and its then overseas territories.
In 1974 the company moved into terry towel manufacturing. Its good results led to a series of investment projects aimed at vertical integration, giving it tighter control over every stage of production.
In 1995 DS launched several projects to upgrade its technology and production, including the restructuring and streamlining of all its equipment, a quality management system and a cogeneration plant to produce its own energy.
Today, thanks to a policy of continuous, sustained investment, the company follows a proactive strategy that allows it to adapt quickly to changes in its industry.
Over three generations, Domingos de Sousa & Filhos has made a point of passing on the values it considers essential:
Honesty — Building relationships on trust and transparency. · Quality — Meeting and exceeding our customers' requirements. · Responsibility — Respecting people and the environment. · Efficiency — Being competitive and delivering on time. · Innovation — Investing heavily in new trends and technologies.
Mission — To offer a range that stands out for its innovation and customisation, built on investment in quality and flexibility, and on listening closely to our customers so that we can propose the best solution for each of them.
Vision — To be recognised worldwide as a benchmark for quality, innovation and reliability in home textiles.
Constant investment and more than 60 years of experience have made DS a benchmark in yarn-dyed terry towels. With modern electronic Jacquard looms, a versatile warping system and a customer-focused design department, DS responds quickly and effectively to its customers' increasingly demanding requests.
DS supplies large retailers and international distributors with high-quality, customised products in the mid-to-high range.
Main markets: Spain · Germany · Finland · Switzerland · Italy · United States · Japan.
The company exhibits at international trade fairs, above all Heimtextil in Frankfurt.
