Summary/Abstract: In this communication I plan to analyze the relationship between the Portuguese language and the foreign languages in the Emperor of Brazil’s translations. This is one of the projects developed by NUPROC of UFSC. The process documents are made up of manuscripts of translations from various languages made by the Emperor, letters exchanged throughout his life with many European and American intellectuals and pages of his diaries that provide relevant information about his intellectual activity, not only translation. Although many biographies bring the information of this activity in his life, any research group to date had been working on a thorough analysis of his manuscripts, that are now at the Historical Archive in the Petrópolis Museum. This research has been supported by CNPq and has received prominence in the Brazilian national press.
