The academic world revolves around Anglophone publications. What we got is Brazilian academics writing in English to publish in Anglophone journals to get more citations, sometimes in partnership with other Anglophone researchers.
If you publish in English, you get citations from English and many other languages. If you publish in Portuguese (or Spanish, or German) you get citations only from this language. All "high impact" journals are in English, after all.
This is consistent with my experiences too. I have always admired publications which translate the abstract as it gives a peak into a whole world out there. Perhaps this is one other area future decentralized publishing should look into.
