La vida en el mundo de las formas
translation of a book for children with the goal of teaching the importance of civility in everyday life
Children are unlike any other audience. Their tastes and proficiencies change rapidly and today's absolute favorite may be completely forgotten by tomorrow. Translating texts for children entails a high degree of specialization and deep knowledge of all their stages of development. Choosing the right grammar and vocabulary makes the text accessible but challenging enough to keep the child interested. Even seemingly easy decisions, like selecting characters names or cultural references, have a great impact on the readability of the text.
Before becoming a full-time translator, I worked for many years as a teacher and educational coordinator - over 10 years of experience working with children back up my work. In addition, I have an MA in teaching young learners from the University of York (UK), where I studied psychology and pedagogy in depth. I can therefore guarantee that each translation captures the right level of challenge and interest for the target age group.
