Are There Any Female Astronauts? On Gender-Inclusive Translation of Non-Fiction Books for Children This article deals with gender-inclusive translation of information books for children. Translation solutions drawn from three non-fiction books translated from French to Swedish by different translators are discussed in terms of gender neutrality and inclusion. Analysis reveals that, although the Swedish translations are comparatively free in relation to the original texts, the translators differ in their tendency to make use of gender-inclusive translation strategies, such as employing gender-neutral occupational terms, avoiding masculine generic forms, reformulating gender-biased passages, representing parenthood as more equal and making women visible in the translation by the explicit mention of female experiences and characters. While emphasizing the importance of being attentive to gender issues in information books for young children, it is argued that gender-neutralising interventions can be made in translations of this text type without putting the overall purpose of the book at risk.

Kinney, Jeff. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck. New York: Amulet Books, 2013. Print.The book I read was Diary of A Wimpy Kid Hard Luck. The author is Jeff Kinney and the publisher is Amulet Books. The story was about Greg Heffley trying to find new friends and going through the school year.  He is doing a lot of stuff he would do with his friend Rowly Jefferson as he struggles through the school year. I liked the book because it is a funny book to read and it has lots of jokes in it and it’s a really good book to read for people in grade 4-6. I don’t like the book because some parts in the story get really boring.[Recommended: 3 out of 5 stars]Reviewer: NoahMy name is Noah. I love to read information books. My favorite book to read is diary of the wimpy kid long haul. My favorite place to read is on my bed. I like to read when I go to sleep.
