Ciao Felipe,
the files with the localized strings for a given language are in web/loc/<LANGUAGE DIR>, where <LANGUAGE DIR> is the ISO639 2-letters code for the language; for instance, portoguese files would go into web/loc/pr.
You would have to copy all the files from the English (en) directory, and then translate them; in order to test the translation you have to load the home page using the URL http://…/srv/pr/main.home instead of http://…/srv/en/main.home.
You can see that some strings contain variables starting with "$", like $HOST; these are automatically replaced by the installer with the ones you enter.
All files use the UTF-8 charset, so you need an editor able to handle it, textpad for instance.
On the special characters problem, GeoNetwork already handle all the information in UTF-8, so there should be no problem with searches; however, a bug is always possible, so if you can send us some more information (exact diagnostic, search strings, metadata, logs) we will check.

My first contribution to this project is a translation to my language
(Portuguese).
That's my first contribution to a project here at sourceforge so I'd
like to know how can I do that.
And I have another question about languages.
In my language we have special charsets like ~ 'éáç etc, when I perform a search with special chars (i.e. Amazônia) no results come. How can I fix that?
Thanks for developing this software,
Felipe Costa
