Words pronounced.

Mühle with out the ü is spelt Muehle, thus it pronounced Muehler. My Portuguese is nonexistent.
Google translate is actually quite good.
Mühle
LOL. There was a thread awhile back and I recall a native German speaker commenting on Google being spot on. Same with the Portuguese. We have both German and Portuguese native speakers who are quite active and I hope they chime in to verify.
Smog, but like se-mog and Moo-luh
That is what I get also.
This is correct. The Google translate version is the "Brazilian" Portuguese, sounds ridiculous btw. NOT the Brazilian Portuguese, just this particular word.
My limited knowledge of German leads me to believe Google must be correct about Muhle.
Heck I don't know. I just say Mule and Smoge - like Smo then add the G sound.
I pretty much never have spoken these words aloud to anyone so it doesn't matter to me.

I think I will use B&B 'native speaker' as my new translator. Another great benefit of this wonderful forum.
I get Sem~Mog~Gee in Google translate
Edgar(nuclearblast) I believe has the best handle on that pronunciation.
It's only a matter of accent anyway, Tony. But specifically talking about the word Semogue, the difference is quite significant.
It's the same as with the English language and its different accents. The European Portuguese doesn't sound the same as the South American or the African Portuguese.

Thx for the responses.

Leon posted may moons ago that Semogue is a made-up word and he pronounces it the way I mention.
My wife is Greek so not that foreign to me...LOLIt all sounds Greek to me.
My logic says that since it the brushes were owned by someone named Gomes and the company name is (roughly translated) I, Gomes backwards, then it should be pronounced Say Mogue...like the "se" in sell and mogue like rogue. I could be wrong and probably am!
