<![CDATA[Trying to translate children’s story is not easy. Thus, to make children understand the translated text, the translator should really find the understandable word for children in the target language. Not only that, the translator also should be able to fix and match the culture of the target language as well as linguistics and extra-linguistics of the target language.
