There are a lot of World Atlas in Portuguese, ( but not in the internet!)
in Brazil and in Portugal, mainly elementary atlas
for usage in schools. Real good atlas are difficult to find. Some Enciplopedies
(like the Britannica)published atlas in Portuguese.
 The newspapaper "Folha de Sao Paulo" translated the "The Times
Atlas of the World-family edition, 1993". It was published in 1994.
 If you need more informations, let me know.
