I've seen mostly ⟨bug⟩ in both Italian and Portuguese. Uncommonly ⟨erro de programação⟩ (PT) / ⟨errore di programmazione⟩ (IT).
I pronounce it ['bu.ge] in both languages, although the pronunciation might vary quite a bit in Portuguese; the last vowel can be [e ɪ i ə] or non-existent, depending on the dialect. It's just epenthetic, given neither language likes hard codas.
- ranguna 5y agoJust a note, adding an "e" at the end of "bug" when pronouncing is not a think in Portuguese from Portugal, I mostly hear it from our good friends from Brazil, and they've actually started dropping the "e" (at least the ones I work with).
- lvxferre 5y agoIt depends far more on the actual dialect than the country, as it's phonotactics-dependent; for example I'd still expect Alentejano dialect to add a short [ɪ], or Mineiro to skip it, even if it's the opposite direction of the "trend". And the vowel itself might vary quite a bit. I use [e] due to my dialect (Sulista) still keeping the post-stress final /e/ vs. /i/ distinction (e.g. "SETI" and "sete" sound different for us), but [ɪ] and [i] are likely more common for people who merged both.
