History of International Translation Day
On May 24, 2017, the General Assembly adopted resolution 71/288 recognizing the crucial role of language professionals in connecting nations and promoting peace, understanding, and development. They officially designated September 30 as International Translation Day.
Why 30 September
September 30 coincides with the feast day of St. Jerome, who is revered as the patron saint of translators.
St. Jerome was a priest from northeastern Italy. He was renowned for his monumental work translating most of the Bible from Greek manuscripts of the New Testament into Latin. He also translated portions of the Hebrew Gospel into Greek. Born of Illyrian heritage, his native language was the Illyrian dialect. He acquired proficiency in Latin during his schooling and became fluent in Greek and Hebrew through his studies and travels. St. Jerome passed away near Bethlehem on September 30, 420.
