International Translation Day
Every year, translators, interpreters, and terminologists worldwide come together to celebrate International Translation Day on 30 September, the feast of St. Jerome, the patron saint of translators. FIT Council selects a unifying theme and poster design that FIT members can use to promote the day. As it has each year, for over 35 years, FIT encourages members to use our annual theme as the basis for their ITD celebrations.
An historic milestone was reached in 2017 when the 71st Session of the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted Resolution A/RES/71/288, recognizing the vital role of professional translation in connecting nations and fostering peace, understanding, and development. In the same resolution, the United Nations declared 30 September as UN International Translation Day, a day now celebrated across the entire UN network.
