The portuguese translation of War and Peace is made by a couple. The woman, a russian, translates the books as close to the original as possible while the man, a portuguese, revises it to make it sound good in portuguese, then the woman makes some adjustments based on his revisions, taking care to see if everything is accurate and in the style of the author and they both read the translation together alongside the russian original until they reach a point where they're both satisfied with it. It's one of the best translations of War and Peace out there.
