The target audience significantly impacts translation choices. For children's comics, translators might simplify language and avoid complex cultural references. Adult comics allow for more nuanced and potentially mature translations. The translator must consider the audience's reading level, cultural background, and expectations to ensure the comic is accessible and enjoyable.
