Since last year, it's official,
thanks to the UN. Here's what they have to say about this day:
International Translation Day is meant as an opportunity to pay
tribute to the work of language professionals, which plays an important
role in bringing nations together, facilitating dialogue,
understanding and cooperation, contributing to development and
strengthening world peace and security.
Transposition of a literary or scientific work, including
technical work, from one language into another language, professional
translation, including translation proper, interpretation and
terminology, is indispensable to preserving clarity, a positive climate
and productiveness in international public discourse and interpersonal
communication.
Thus, on 24 May 2017, the General Assembly adopted resolution 71/288
on the role of language professionals in connecting nations and
fostering peace, understanding and development, and declared 30
September as International Translation Day.
So enjoy, and perhaps thank a translator or interpreter who's helped you communicate with their work.
