In Brazil, 'saída de software' is the predominant technical term in IT environments, reflecting the influence of English-language programming culture. In corporate and academic settings, professionals often use the English term directly or opt for 'resultado' (result) as a more accessible alternative for non-technical stakeholders. Portugal tends toward 'resultado' as the preferred translation, maintaining a distinction from literal 'saída' (exit).
