In the fast-evolving world of automotive repair, information is just as critical as the tools in your toolbox. For decades, technicians across the globe have trusted Autodata as the gold standard for technical data, wiring diagrams, and repair procedures. However, for Portuguese-speaking markets—from Portugal and Brazil to Angola and Mozambique—language barriers have often introduced friction, slowing down diagnostic times and increasing the risk of error.
That era of compromise is officially over. Autodata has recently rolled out its most anticipated update: Autodata 345, now fully optimized and released with native Portuguese language support. This is not a simple translation patch; it is a complete localization of one of the world’s most powerful automotive databases.

In markets like Portugal (Decree-Law 56/2010) and Brazil (CONTRAN Resolution 907/2022), repairs must follow documented, OEM-level procedures. Using an English-only manual can create legal liability if a mistake occurs. Autodata 345 in Portuguese provides auditable, legally defensible documentation in the mechanic’s native language.
The release of Autodata 3.45 in Portuguese provides tangible benefits to the independent automotive repair sector:
A new feature in build 345 allows you to take a photo of a physical repair order or dashboard warning light. The software now performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Portuguese, instantly searching the database for the exact code or symptom.
