You need to add the following to the top of your feature files to use another language,otherwise behat assumes it's in english :

language: pt

I had the same problem 2 days ago, see http://groups.google.com/group/behat/browse_thread/thread/93d0ab611e90d7b1
A PR for the docs would be nice.

But it doesn't make sense, the language is set to "pt" in behat.yml it should work without the reference inside the feature file or not @everzet?

No it should not. The language, that you specify in behat.yml or with parameter is the language of Behat formatter (output generator) - that's why it's placed under formatter section of configs. This option doesn't affect Gherkin parser.

Features are explicit pieces of information, that could and should be used separately from Behat in many cases. Keeping this in mind, hiding some important information (like language) from them in Behat configs is the true crime!

Also, single project could have features in multiple languages ;-) And english is used by default.
