The word code is
código.
To say QR code it’s: código QR. ‘QR code’ is that new square mosaic black & white pattern that’s starting to appear everywhere — magazines, products and now — the sidewalk in Ipanema (Rio de Janeiro). They are taking over old-fashioned barcodes because they can be read by smartphones and link to things like websites.
These QR códigos were installed >> foram instalados << in the sidewalk >> na calçada << along the beach >> ao longo da praia.
They will help tourists >> Eles vão ajudar os turistas << learn about the history >> aprender sobre a história << of the area >> da região.
In fact, >> de fato << they are installing these codes >> eles estão instalando esses códigos << all over the city >> na cidade toda!
