Abstract
The main aim of our work is to present the universe of translated texts in the missions in both China and Philippine Islands. This is motivated by the fact that these texts are part of the object of study for a History of translation. The Philippine Islands have been selected by its integration into "oversea lands", that were part of Spain. On the other hand, China, due to several reasons as: I) the interest of Europa for its culture, since the age of Marco Polo; II) the impulse the "Council of Trent" gave to missions; III) the presence of Chinese people in Philippine Islands, and IV) the proximity of both territories.
