O facto de Pombal ser hoje um dos mais importantes atores do despotismo esclarecido deve-se sobretudo ao seu abrangente programa de reformas aberto a praticamente todos os campos de atuação política do século xviii. Igualmente importante, também, é o facto de ter acompanhado as suas medidas com um trabalho de relações públicas extremamente intenso: Pombal compreendera a importância de ter a opinião pública europeia do seu lado porque precisamente aquelas reformas que ameaçavam os direitos e cargos tradicionais de poder da Igreja Católica foram objeto de um debate controverso numa Europa dividida por linhas confessionais. A França desempenhou um papel importante na batalha europeia de opinião: os intelectuais e publicitários franceses dominaram a opinião pública internacional e o francês era a língua falada pela população educada e ilustrada. Este artigo examinará, portanto, a propaganda de Pombal em França e o papel das traduções e adaptações na batalha de opinião pública.
