Resum
The importance of the translation process during the period of the discovery and conquest of America cannot be underestimated. Two major considerations emerge as relevant: Spanish soldiers present there usually had very few concrete needs beyond those associated with daily life and the requirements of warfare, and they mostly lacked the knowledge necessary to understand the events that were taking place before their eyes; on the other hand, Spanish clergymen and friars had preconceived ideas about America that significantly altered their perception of facts and left their imprint on the perception of the history of America.
