ترجمة أدب الطفل : التبسيط بين التوطين و التغريب

Abstract EN

There are many approaches to translate a single text.

In this article, we attempt to analyze the different approaches of children's literature translation and its efficiency.

The translation of children's literature is an important discipline in the field of translation as a whole and requires special attention as it is addressed to a specific group in society who has its own specificities, but this type of literature may be read by adults like children.

Translators in translating children's literature vary between the supporters of the adaptation approach, i.e.

by modification, deletion, addition and adaptation according to the target reader’s culture, and between opponents of this approach and their argument that this approach deprives the child from learning about the culture of others.

As an analysis of our study, we chose some examples from Harry Potter books and its translation into Arabic (Part 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7) to clarify some difficulties in translating from one culture to another and achieving the same goal and purpose of the original text in the target text as well as the importance of the used approach according to the text typology.
