A Study of Responses of Student Translators to Some Basic Problems in Translating Children's Literature

Abstract

Recently, translation of children's literature has been viewed as a significant area of research to shed light on translator's practices, competence, ideology, choices and child image. Moreover, translation of children's literature has several advantages for children i.e., to educate and entertain them. Research into translation problems of children's literature has focused on examining responses of professional translators to problems in translating children's literature; however, little research has been conducted about student translators' perception, knowledge and competence. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine student translators' perception of some basic problems in translating children's literature.
