Title:
  Typos and incorrect Brazilian Portuguese translations across the
  Settings app

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Because I don't see any of these errors in the GNOME desktop shipped
  in Debian and Fedora, I'm reporting it here to Ubuntu. All of them can
  be found in the GNOME Settings app.

  This is about the Brazilian Portuguese translation.

  1. Incorrect pluralization in the "Add user" dialog.
     In the Password section, the first radio button label starts with "Os usuário definem a senha...", but it should be "Os usuários definem a senha (...)".

  2. Typos and inaccurate translations in Privacy and Security
     The first item in that page, "Connectivity", was translated as "Ligações"; the correct term is "Conectividade". "Ligações" translates to "Connections".
     Still in "Connectivity", its description says "Detetar problemas de ligação" when the correct phrase is "Detectar problemas de conectividade" or even "Detectar problemas de conexão".
     Navigate to the second item there, "Lock Screen", and in the page that opens, notice that most options use "tela" as translation for "screen"; but the last one calls it "ecrã", which is only correct for Portuguese (Portugal), but my display language is set to Portuguese (Brazil).
     Go back to the Privacy and Security section, then navigate to "Device Security" in the Devices subsection. In the page that opens, click on the first interactive card that reports the general safety of your device; it will open a pop-up with more details. Here it says that my hardware has a good level of protection, and indicates it by showing a green shield icon followed by a description. The description has a typo in "(...) Seu harware tem proteção contra (...)". "Harware" should be "Hardware".
