An example of the role of translated children's literature works incultural transfer: Pollyanna

Daha sonra dolCulture is a concept that is defined in different ways because it contains many elements and variables. Culture carries traces from various sub-branches of the society in which it exists, such as language, religion, customs and traditions, art and music, and these traces are reflected in the literary texts that flourish within that culture. Children's literature translation works, the number of which has increased recently, enable children to get to know different cultures, raise awareness of those cultures, and develop their feelings and thoughts. However, translation of children's books is more difficult than other genres. There are different translation strategies that children's literature translators can apply to ensure that they can translate in accordance with the characteristics of the age group they address, without neglecting the elements of both the source culture and the target culture. In this study, the original (English) text and two different Turkish translations of the children's book "Pollyanna" by Eleanor H. PORTER were examined and the translation strategies in the target texts were compared. This study was carried out using document review and literature review methods and the sources written in this field were scanned. As a result of the study, it was seen that translators of children's books should have knowledge of both the source culture and the target culture, and different translation strategies can be used to create a fluent and understandable text for children. durulacaktır.
