We're actually studying the possibility of letting outside authors publish their essays and articles in our essays space. Haven't entirely figured it out yet, but we will likely require the author's permission before reposting, and rework the system a bit to let people know these essays were not written by our editors. You can start working on the translation already, before the author responds about permission.
We can also give it some hype through our socials. What is the essay about and why do you feel it's important to share it? (Not a rhetorical question, I just can't read Portuguese).
