I am not sure I understand your question, but literally it says "by favor", which is how we say "please". =)
Duolingo apparently has a flaw in its way of teaching languages, since translating every single word is not the way a language should be taught, but instead through the translation of ideas or phrases as a whole. "Por favor" just means "please", why does it uses to words? because that's the way portuguese works, and instead of translating por and favor, it should be considered a single "word-phrase"
