You've managed to correct the grammatical errors but I think the
document still loses some meanings in translation. Thats probably why I
was surprised you got it done so quickly.

I was doing a more literal re-write (perhaps I understood david wrong ?)

as an example - 

Being a literal translation I found the following paragraph very
confusing - 

When creating the menu entries and the buttons that, in the properties
window, there is a property called "Group", besides the typical
properties like name, caption, etc. This option is very interesting,
because we can associate the same code to different controls with the
same funcion, for example, the menu entry "Open" and the button "Open"
must do the same task: open a file on disk. Using the "Group" property,
we write the code for this task once.

so I was re-writing it to make it clearer, like such - 

 When creating the menu entries you will notice that besides the typical
properties like name, caption, etc. there is also a property called
"Group", form buttons also have this "Group" property as you can see
 by selecting a button and viewing its properties in the Properties
window. This option is very interesting, because we can associate the
same code to different controls with the same funcion, for example, the
menu entry "Open" and the button "Open" must do the same task: open a
file from disk. Using the "Group" property, we write the code for this
task only once.

I think more clarification on what exactly is wanted is needed, any
input anyone,
