[Maxima] Brazilian Portuguese Translation

[Paulo Ney de Souza]

One more perl for your delight:

     ... gerador de números randômicos....

this one looses only to the celebrated translation of the Schaum Table 
in the 80's where McGraw-Hill translated "Random Numbers" and "Chain 
Rule" by "Números de Random" and "Regra de Chain" as if they were two 
very important mathematicians!
