English is the international language to read on the Internet. It is also the language of the most prestigious journals for scholarly publications. Brazil is a large country with over 200 million inhabitants who speak Portuguese. ETDs in Brazil are mostly published in Portuguese thouch the articles that are their results most probably are in English. PUC-Rio has had an ETD program since 2000 and in 2002 they became mandatory. ETDs have been published in Portuguese, except for a few exceptions. In 2008, ETDs in languages other than Portuguese were formally allowed not to be exceptions. This work is the first to analyze and understand the consequences of allowing ETDs in foreign languages. It addresses the evolution of the numbers of publications in different languages and also the profiles of the accesses to the works, considering the countries of origin (language related) and numbers. Since in some cases the number of ETDs eligible for the analysis was very low, next year it will be repeated so that results can be compared.
