International Translation Day, marked on September 30th each year, stands as a worldwide celebration of the essential role played by translators and language experts. These dedicated individuals are instrumental in promoting cross-cultural communication, advancing global progress, and nurturing international harmony.

• The theme for International Translation Day 2023 carries a profound message: ‘Translation unveils the many faces of humanity’. 
• International Translation Day, established by the International Federation of Translators (FIT) in 1991, has a rich history deeply rooted in the profession of translation. FIT, a global organization representing translators, interpreters, and terminologists, was founded in 1953 with the aim of promoting collaboration and excellence within the translation community.
• This meaningful day, celebrated on September 30th, was strategically chosen to coincide with the feast day of St. Jerome. St. Jerome holds a special place in the world of translation as the patron saint of translators. His enduring legacy is intertwined with the art of translation.
