Please do not try direct translation to 'Revista' or 'Revisão', since they aren't really related. About the accents, ´ is a common accent in several latin languages so it's best to support it. But the above words without them would still be quite understandable. In portuguese you can use ‘Análise’ ou ‘Crítica’.

Don't worry, we're not translating the site one word at a time, this is just to make one aspect of the site easier. Keep those languages coming folks! I just spotted a Hungarian shop in Bandon so add that to the list. Thanks Cathy and Jochen, that’s exactly what I need.
