This is primarily technical jargon used in both Brazilian and American English-speaking contexts. In Brazil, it's commonly seen in software manuals, IT documentation, and technical support materials. The term is standardized across both regions due to the global nature of technology. Brazilians often mix Portuguese and English terms, so 'setup' is frequently retained even in Portuguese-language contexts, though 'procedimento de configuração' is the formal translation preferred in official documentation.
