This study focuses on translation directionality; in particular, translating to one's second language. Based on a Spanish translation of the children's book The Cat in in the Hat, by Dr. Seuss, this article discusses certain methodological advantages of translating to one's second language: cultural competency, an appropriate understanding of the source text, and an enhanced linguistic awareness of the target language.
