This is a technical term widely used in both American and Brazilian software development communities. In Brazil, the English term 'config' is frequently used alongside or instead of the full Portuguese translation in technical discussions, particularly among software engineers and IT professionals. The term has become standardized in the global tech industry, making it largely language-independent in professional contexts.
