We use a multilingual corpus of English children’s books translated into German, Greek, Korean...

      ab: In this paper, we examine changes children’s literature frequently undergo when translated. Specifically, we investigate how the ideological manipulation of originals leads to shifts in these translations. We use a multilingual corpus of English children’s books translated into German, Greek, Korean, Spanish and Arabic. German and Greek translations are discussed intensively with some space given to translations into the other languages, where analyses are at an initial stage. In our comparative study we investigate the liberties taken by translators in their covert translations (House, J. (2015).Translation quality assessment: Past and present. London: Routledge) into different languages. Preliminary findings reveal shifts that highlight (a) underlying cross-cultural discourse preferences reflected in the translations through massive ‘cultural filtering’, (b) ideological leanings of translators who tacitly guide reader assumptions, and (c) educational adjustments to stock societal assumptions and ‘official’ ideas.
