International Translation Day HistoryInternational Translation Day is a global observance focusing on the vital role translators play in bridging gaps between different languages and cultures. The day aims to enhance the appreciation, awareness, and acknowledgement of the tireless work of these professionals who strive to maintain effective communication in the diverse global society. Translators help bolster international cooperation, foster understanding and respect, and ensure access to information, services, and resources regardless of language barriers. The International Federation of Translators (FIT) first proposed International Translation Day in 1953, and the United Nations General Assembly officially adopted it in 2017. In New Zealand, the growing importance of translators is evident due to the increasing number of immigrants and the nation's commitment to multiculturalism. New Zealand is a linguistically diverse country with over 160 languages spoken, and te reo Māori, New Zealand Sign Language, and English are recognised as official languages. Translators not only promote effective communication among various ethnicities in the country but also strive to preserve the nation's cultural heritage and native languages. International Translation Day is often observed in New Zealand through events such as conferences, workshops, and seminars related to translation and interpreting. These events serve as a platform for professionals to network, increase their skills, and share knowledge on translation trends and technologies. International Translation Day is celebrated worldwide annually on 30 September which is also the feast day of St. Jerome, the patron saint of translators. While there may not be any date-specific events in New Zealand, the day highlights the indispensable role translators play in ensuring a cohesive and connected society in a multicultural and increasingly globalised world.
