Abstract: The study of translation ability provides an avenue to understanding the cognitive-linguistic experience that is particular to bilingual children. Translation is a bilingual skill; it has also been called a metalinguistic skill par excellance. There has been little research on translation ability in bilingual children, despite calls for such research based on anecdotal and indirect evidence. This chapter reports the findings from a series of studies that have shown that grade school students are competent translators who are not easily misled by deliberate translation pitfalls, and who show no evidence of linguistic confusion when translating.
