Bug in PT-BR localization on iOS app

Hi!

I share a family account with my wife and was helping her setup 1password on her new computer.

We used the QR Code login process (super cool, btw). It worked well, but she got confused at one point and it came down a translation that was not properly done.

After she scanned the QR code with her iOS app, a confirmation dialog pops up. You have two options, one to accept and another to cancel.

I believe that in the original english version, the "accept" option is "Transfer Key". But in brazilian portuguese it was translated as "Chave de TransferĂȘncia".

The translation is not incorrect by itself, but it means something very different.

In english, "Transfer Key" can mean two things:
1) A command to transfer a key
and
2) A key that is of the "type" "transfer".

(I'm sorry I don't know the english grammar categories, would me easier to classify these in portuguese as it's my first language).

But in portuguese these two meaning are written differently.

1) is translated as "Transferir Chave" -> meaning I want this key (chave) to be transferred.
and
2) is translated as "Chave de TransferĂȘncia" meaning that is a key (chave) of the type transfer (TransferĂȘncia).

so (2) is essentially a noun, while (1) is a verb + noun.

Since (2) was the version selected by the localization team, you end up with a very confusing dialog where the blue call to action is a noun.

I tried creating a ticket for this but I could not add details to it. It's TIY-35243-433 in any case.
