Translation to Portuguese[edit]

I'm a native Portuguese speaker and, to me, the description given for this word does not match the translation to Portuguese just below. Something "rígido" is something strong, rigid. I'm willing to change it to frágil, which means fragile, although I'm not pretty sure if it's fine, so I'll leave as "Translation to be checked".
