International Translation and Translator Day is observed annually on September 30. This day was established in 1991 by the International Federation of Translators as an opportunity to recognize the role of translators and the importance of translation in global communication. The date was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the death of Saint Jerome, who translated the Bible into Latin and is regarded as a symbol of translation in Christian tradition. In 1991, the International Federation of Translators officially designated this day in the global calendar to raise public awareness about the significance of translators' work and their role in cultural and scientific exchange. The initiative aimed to highlight the challenges and responsibilities of the translation profession and to promote its status worldwide. In many countries, September 30 is marked by conferences, workshops, and educational programs for translators and those interested in translation. The day provides an opportunity to discuss professional issues, share experiences, and showcase new achievements in the field. Attention to translators' rights and working conditions is also a key topic during this observance.
