Google is even more comical translating mama to breast which is a true translation.

Pandit of the Anda lokita walking in Ny with breast Pandita "

I know some people who think a literal translation is to say what the phrase really means.

I disagree. To me that is paraphrasing to extract the gist or important concept that was trying to be expressed, but I suppose that it may be a matter of context. For instance, my correcting the mama to mamá would be outside of making a lteral translation by my definition, but inside it by yours. Since it means different things to different people that is why I asked the author and tried to do both possibilities.

By literally do you mean a word for word translation or do you want to know what it says. If you want a word for word translation you could throw it into a machine translator.

In case you just want to know what it says:

the Chinese panda cub goes for a walk (strolls) in New York with its mother.

lets see what the machine says.

Pandit of the Anda lokita stroll with mom in Ny Pandita (this is why we like this machine so much here).

anda=he/she/it walks (andar is a verb that has all kinds of meanings especially used with other words, but linking it with pasear walk sounds correct.

el=the

Pandito=Panda cub

de=of

la=the

chinita=Chinese (no idea why the ita suffix is used)

paseando=taking a walk, strolling

en=in

NY=New York

con=with

la=the

mamá=mother, mom

Pandita=panda (again, not idea why the ita suffix) maybe endearment as I suppose this is a newspaper caption for a sappy photo shot of a baby with its mom.
