The term 'function call' is fundamental in programming education and practice across both English and Portuguese-speaking countries. In Brazil, as the tech industry has grown, the English term is often used alongside or instead of the Portuguese equivalent, especially in professional settings. Portuguese speakers have embraced 'chamada de função' as the standard translation, though in some technical documentation both terms appear side by side.
