Thank you, Nick. You are currently saving my life.

I do extensive searches to find answers to my questions before posting any
message here. However, it is worth of mentioning that the main motivation
is the fact that, in some cases, I do not know keywords in English to
search for. Try to imagine that you have only Stata manuals in French or
Chinese. Finding specific topics, when you have no idea how to write that
in those languages, may be a big challenge.
Regards,
Tiago
