Yes, it's fine.

I think Tkinter is the easiest to get started with. You might also like 
to try PythonCard which is a wrapper around wxPython that makes it 
easier to use.

I have a few comments below.

These two tests could be combined into
   if not lingua.strip():
     print "Tens de escrever alguma coisa ok?"

I would define the two listas outside the loop at the top of the program 
and give them more descriptive names like portugueseToAlBled. I think it 
would make the loop easier to read.

You don't need the extra "", just print palavra.translate(lista).
