The History of International Translation
Day
The International Translation Day, as it is officially called
and celebrated all over the world, originated as a tribute to
St. Jerome, a biblical translator, hence the date of September
30th. It has been celebrated since 1953, although the FIT (International
Federation of Translators) launched the International Translation
Day only in 1991.
