Isn't it common to have the first name in the passport's language and the ticket in English? Won't the airline change the name on the ticket?

With all due respect, the only things that are constant in Brazil's bureaucracy are its unpredictilaby and inconsistency. Things change overnight, there is no stability, it makes it impossible to make long term plans.
