In many societies, including Slovenian society, manipulations, cultural judgments, assimilations, and intentional reshaping of translations are common: these interventions are most apparent in translations of children's and juvenile literature. Such systematic encroachment of the target society into translations is exemplified through Slovenian translations created in thefirst decade after the Second World War. Special attention is dedicated to the translation of Bambi by Felix Salten. The general public and literature specialists are generally unaware that these texts were changed, and so ideologically altered translations are still being reprinted and included in primary school readers and textbooks for Slovenian language and literature.
