International Translation Day is observed on September 30 to honor the untiring efforts of translators and language professionals worldwide. Maintaining productive, positive, and explicit interpersonal communication in international circles is impossible without a translator. Translators are the foundation of international peace agreements and global media consumption, as they translate everything from sensitive documents to K-pop lyrics. International Translation Day recognizes the contribution of language professionals to peacekeeping, the advancement of human rights, and the pursuit of sustainable development.

The United Nations recognizes professional translation as both an art and a profession. Translators uphold the United Nations Charter and deserve global recognition. In accordance with the resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on May 24, 2017, the 30th of September is observed annually as International Translation Day. The purpose of this day is to recognize the contribution of language professionals to fostering peace, development, and solidarity between linguistically distinct nations.
International Translation Day coincides with the feast day of St. Jerome, the cleric and scholar credited with the first Bible translation. St. Jerome embarked on a voyage to translate the Hebrew Bible into Latin thousands of years ago. St. Jerome is known as the patron saint of translators due to his efforts to make the Bible accessible to a significantly larger audience.
We observe International Translation Day by raising awareness of professional translation and keeping in mind that the blending of languages reflects the diversity-based strength of a unified global community.
