September 2024:
International Translation Day –
Feast day of St. Jerome

On 30 September 2024, the International Translation Day (ITD) reminds us of the important role professional translators play in our globalised world.
In 1953, the Federation of Translators (FIT) – the umbrella organisation of our profession – set up the International Translation Day. It is now celebrated annually on the feast of St. Jerome, the important linguist and Bible translator, who is known as the patron saint of all translators, interpreters and terminologists. In May 2017, the United Nations officially recognised this day, thus emphasising the ever increasing importance of this profession.

Many people think that everyone who can speak more than one language is automatically a translator. But there’s more to a good translation than just speaking two languages: Translators are professional language mediators with not only broad linguistic, but also comprehensive cultural and technical knowledge.

The BDÜ (Bundesverband der Dolmetscher und Übersetzer, en: Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators), is once again providing further information on this topic at www.hieronymustag.de: The campaigns and events planned by the federal association and its member organisations for the International Translation Day will be published here on an ongoing basis.
