Translations and adaptations
Like most of Von Kotzebue's works, this play was widely performed in the 19th century, and translated into a number of languages.

English
Directly translated as Poverty and Nobleness of Mind by M. Geisweiler in 1799.
Translated "with Alterations" as Sighs, or The Daughter (or Sighs: Or, the Daughter in early versions) by Prince Hoare (1755–1834)[2], also in 1799. Apparently adapted to a play in five acts.
Performance history in South Africa
1818: Presented in English in Cape Town on 30 May as Sighs: Or, the Daughter (using the Hoare adaptation), performed by the Gentlemen Amateurs in the African Theatre, with Fortune's Frolic (Allingham) as afterpiece.
