Always remember you can only update or publish content for one language at a time. For example. If you are publishing or editing a contents for both of the languages and during the update or publish you are in the English tab then only the changes made to english will be updated. if you made and changes to Portuguese content, it will be ignored.

But to save both you have to switch tabs and click publish for each of them saperately.
