There are a number of translations of the play, two appearing in the 1790s, alongside an adaptation by Sheridan. The titles also vary considerably, according to the translator. E.g.  ''[[The spaniards in Peru; or, The death of Rolla]]'' (by Anne Plumtre, performed and published  1799?*), [[Pizarro in Peru, or, The death of Rolla]] (by William Dunlap, published 1800),  or in later editions as ''[[Pizarro,  or The Death of Rolla]]''. Also known simply as ''[[Pizarro]]'', after Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1799 melodramatic version of the Von Kotzebue tragedy. This would become the most famous English version of the play, a huge commercial success for Sheridan, performed at the Drury Lane theatre in 1799, and published under the title ''[[Pizarro]]'' (1799).
