Portuguese & Metric recipe...How many cups (American) is 500 grams of sugar?!

Question: I am making a Portuguese recipe and need to translate and convert. Another part I'm having trouble with is:

"75 dl leite" - how much milk is this in cups?

Thank you SO much!

Also... "Juntam-se as claras em castelo" - my guess is that this means to beat the egg whites into stiff peaks?

Thank you!

500 grams of sugar is roughly 2 1/2 cups American. I am having a little trouble with dl, is this typed correctly?

Hi Serenity,
U might want to try this link http://www.proz.com/ask It allows you 2 set up a free membership. Then enter your phrase to be translated & voila....there you go. Thought it might be useful in the future when cooking Portugeuse dishes! Best of Luck :)
