Abstract

This paper focuses on the issue of translations in recent years from Spanish to Hindi, which is spoken in large part of India and also in countries where there is a majority of Indians.

This work attempts to present the reception of translations from the Spanish Golden Age into Hindi and also analyzes the boom in popularity of translations of Spanish masterpieces of this era. This article has also analyzed the different problems of translation when working with texts from the same period.
