Quick summary

The Portuguese (pt-BR) marketing/download page for WordPress Studio serves an outdated installer (v1.6.2), while the English page serves the current release. Studio Code was introduced in v1.7.8 (#3002), so users who download from the pt-BR page cannot access a feature prominently shown in recent demos and videos.

This is a distribution/onboarding issue on developer.wordpress.com, not a bug in the Studio app itself. The pt-BR page also appears to lag behind the English page in other ways (missing Linux download options, missing Windows ARM option, missing “custom domains and SSL” section).

Pages compared:

• pt-BR: https://developer.wordpress.com/pt-br/studio/
• EN: https://developer.wordpress.com/studio/

Steps to reproduce

1. Open https://developer.wordpress.com/pt-br/studio/ in a browser (pt-BR locale).
2. Download the Windows installer from that page.
3. Install and open WordPress Studio.
4. Check the installed version (e.g. Help → About or installer file properties).
5. Look for Studio Code (e.g. switch to Desks UI / Studio Code in settings or UI).
6. Repeat steps 1–5 using https://developer.wordpress.com/studio/ (English page) and compare.

What you expected to happen

Both localized and English download pages should serve the same latest stable release from the Apps CDN (as stated in GitHub release notes: “The latest version is always available on the WordPress Studio site”).

Users arriving from Portuguese-language content (search, YouTube, social) should get a build that includes Studio Code and other features advertised in current materials.

What actually happened

The pt-BR page delivered v1.6.2, which predates Studio Code. I spent time troubleshooting locally (thinking it was a configuration or Windows issue) before discovering the English page offered a newer version. After installing from the English page, Studio Code became available.

Additional differences noticed between pt-BR and EN pages at the time of reporting:

• pt-BR: no Linux download section
• pt-BR: no Windows ARM download option
• pt-BR: missing “Choose custom domains and enable SSL” feature block present on the EN page

Logs or notes

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 (build 19045)
• Locale: pt-BR
• Discovery context: learned about Studio Code from this demo video, then downloaded from the pt-BR Studio page

Version reference

• Studio Code shipped in v1.7.8 (“Released studio code command Rename studio ai command to studio code #3002”)
• Current releases: https://github.com/Automattic/studio/releases

Suggested fix (for maintainers)

• Keep all localized developer.wordpress.com/*/studio/ download links in sync with the English canonical page, or
• Use a single locale-agnostic download endpoint/CDN URL for all languages
