Hi there my beloved tpfers...
I'm currently working on translating children's books into English...
I have come across so many sounds and sounds of expressions that I had a very hard time translating
I know there are common words used for certain sounds in (American) English For example, Boom, Wham!!, cock-a-doodle-doo, knock knock!! etc..
but people say these things differently in other languages.....
I'd really like to know if there are websites or books or anyone that can help me out with this
Yesterday I had to translate the sound of a little kid "passing gas" in class... I still couldn't find out how that sound writes out in english!!!
I'm desperately need help!!!!
TIA
