Daniel Webster Jones and Mileton G. Trejo first began translating sections of the Book of Mormon into Spanish in 1874. They raised money to publish 2,000 copies of "Choice Selections from the Book of Mormon" and brought this translation with them on a mission to Mexico.
The first complete translation of the Book of Mormon into Spanish was completed in 1886 by Mileton G. Trejo and James Z. Stewart. This was later revised by Rey L. Pratt and Eduardo Balderas. Balderas was named the Church's chief Spanish translator and later made minor revisions to the Book of Mormon in 1949, 1969, and 1980.
