Abstract

Translation is always an issue of different users of the texts, which involves rewriting for new target language audiences. Nowadays, many translated works are found in the internet, book stores and libraries. The reason of using translated works is that it can make the readers from different country, culture and language easier to get senses or understanding the text. Besides, the readers not only get the knowledge in local work but also in foreign work. In addition, Indonesian children are more consumptive of translated works than the original one because they are still in learning process to understand the language in terms of writing, speaking, and listening. All of the skills can be enhanced by reading literary works, such as novels, short stories, and poems. Beside giving children the advantages in the skills; literary works also have a role to build awareness of the relationship with other societies and knowledge about other cultures as the quotation by Nugroho (2011) Literature is a powerful vehicle for helping children understand their homes, communities and the world. In addition, translated children literary works has dominated Indonesian children literature as a whole. In the polysystem theory view, translated children literary works takes a central place in Indonesian literary polysystem, while domestic children literary work has been placed in peripheral position.
