Select Brazilian Real instead of US dollars in pull down menu by clicking the arrow next to the word "US Dollar", you will see many other currencies. Select yours & it changes the price of BTC auto.

If you instead want a human readable tool, such as a web widget:
- http://bitcoin.1t2l.net/widget/
- http://bitcoin.1t2l.net/widget/?from=BTC
- http://bitcoin.1t2l.net/widget/
- http://bitcoin.1t2l.net/widget/?from=BTC
Just try this link, it does directly from Brazilian Real to BTC

AFAIK there is no exchange selling BRL, so you can't do it directly. There is one order on the -otc order book as of April 26th. http://bitcoin-otc.com/vieworderbook.php?sortby=buysell&eitherthing=BRL

I'm asking how to do it directly, without needing to use the USD/BTC exchange rate; i wanna know how to do it myself, without even a third party program doing the intermediary step; or is that not possible?

If you are asking how to do it programmatically,
mtgoxusd bid and ask amounts:
To convert between BTC and USD use the "bid" and "ask" values for MtgoxUSD from:
- http://bitcoincharts.com/t/markets.json
To then convert the other currencies:

- http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q=1BRL=?USD

To get the exchange rate between BTC and BRL for example, currently i first get the rate between BRL and USD (or EUR) and the rate between USD (or EUR) and BTC, and then combine the two rates; how can i get the the exchange rate directly without needing to use an intermediary currency?
