camelCase is a technical term universally adopted in software development across Brazil, Portugal, and the USA. It originated from programming practices and remains largely untranslated in Portuguese technical documentation, though it may be explained as 'notação de camelo' (camel notation) or 'convenção de nomenclatura em camelCase'. The term reflects the international and English-dominant culture of computer programming and software engineering.
