Not a new freelancer, just new here. Not from Portugal, but from UK, just living in Portugal! And sorry, I am not paying to take exams: 20 years experience on the web.
Visit affairs-wanted.com. You can have that site, unmodified, for 2500us$ (name and Logo will be changed), right now! It is prepared for multi-lingual, with initial in English. Partial in French, Portuguese and German (incomplete). Option in admin (special entry) allows you to add any language, just adding a column ina table! I can make any mods you want, at 10us$/hr.
