You WILL need a certified translation of a Portuguese document to English if interviewing in London.  Make sure the certificate shows parents names.  Some countries have abridged birth certificates.  Those don't work for this purpose.

You'll need it to send to NVC.  Keep your certified copy and submit a photocopy of it.  Take the certified copy to the interview in case they want to inspect it.  You may well need it later but not as a part of the visa process.

There should be some sites online that offer Birth Certificate services. You can use them and they will mail it to you if you are in USA.
