You can control the language of the Gherkin keyword by adding # language: xx as first line.
For Portuguese it would be
# language: pt
Funcionalidade: um exemplo
A list of all supported spoken languages can be found at https://docs.cucumber.io/gherkin/reference/#spoken-languages. The localized keywords you might lookup for example in gherkin-languages.json

running the test with mvn compile test will produce the following error.
Undefined scenarios:

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:
@Dado("something given")
public void something_given() {
// Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
throw new PendingException();
}

If running mvn test the execution fails with exception.
