International Translation Day is celebrated on September 30th each year. It is a day dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the work of translators and interpreters and the role they play in bridging language barriers, promoting understanding among cultures, and facilitating communication on a global scale.
The celebration of International Translation Day is an opportunity to highlight the importance of translation and interpretation in various fields, including literature, diplomacy, business, science, and many others. It also pays tribute to the professionals who work behind the scenes to make cross-cultural communication possible.
The date, September 30th, was chosen to commemorate the feast day of St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator who is considered the patron saint of translators. This day serves as a reminder of the invaluable contribution that translators and interpreters make to the world, fostering cultural exchange and facilitating cooperation in an increasingly interconnected global society. Various events, conferences, and activities are organized worldwide to celebrate International Translation Day and promote the importance of translation and interpretation.
