Portuguese term (edited):
até que e a menos que liberado por alguém mais qualificado.
unless and until replaced by someone more qualified.
In English, it is always "unless and until"
>1.4 million Yahoo hits for "unless and until"
Boa sorte.

I'm surprised that there are about 400,000 Yahoo hits for "until and unless", which sounds very strange to my ear. In fact, the phrase is redundant and simply "unless" will do. (But "until" by itself will not work, since it would imply that the person will be replaced).
