This project involved the compilation of a children’s geographical encyclopedia with an overview of the Earth’s main natural and social phenomena and a detailed presentation of development features by continent, region, and all appertaining independent countries and dependent territories. The translated text was thoroughly reviewed and the geographical names were examined, translated, and adapted for more than 200 maps. In addition, a terminological glossary was also adapted to the Slovenian context and a final editing of the text and cartographic material was performed before submitting it for publication.
