Replied.

WP gives the option to update to 3.0.2 even if it's not in your language. If
they do so, their locale will remain set to pt_BR, which means they'll
continue to see localized updates in the future. This is fine. They can
update to 3.0.2-en_US, then again to 3.0.2-pt_BR.

In this case, he'll want to change WPLANG, that way he goes back to English
entirely.
