Oittinen, Riitta – Early Child Development and Care, 1989
Makes a case for dialogic translation, a process in which the translator anticipates the response of the child reader, listens to the reader, and reaches out to the child. This process contrasts with the view that the only way to translate well is to reproduce the original text as faithfully as possible. (NH)
