Résumé
L’interprétation n’a pas joué un grand rôle au cours des explorations par voie maritime, les contacts avec les Amérindiens étant la plupart du temps très brefs. Le cas des marchands est différent. Comme la récolte de fourrures était plus abondante quand on pouvait communiquer avec les autochtones autrement que par signes, l’interprétation a vite pris de l’importance. En outre, presque tous les marchands ont laissé au moins un lexique bilingue. Au cours de la crise de Nootka, au début des années 1790, toutes les négociations territoriales menées par Vancouver, qui représentait la Grande-Bretagne, et Bodega, qui représentait l’Espagne, ont dû être traduites. L’interprétation et la traduction y ont donc joué un rôle essentiel.

Abstract
Interpreting did not play a significant part in the explorations by sea because contacts with the natives were brief. Fur traders, though, realised that they could obtain more furs when they could communicate with the natives through interpreters. Many merchants also tried to learn native languages and compiled bilingual vocabularies. During the Nootka controversy, in the early 1790s, talks and letters between Vancouver and Bodega had to be translated: therefore, interpreting and translation were absolutely necessary.
