Each year, September 30 is celebrated as International Translation Day to acknowledge the crucial role that translators and language experts play in bridging communication gaps worldwide. These professionals enhance international dialogue, understanding, and cooperation, thus fostering global peace and security. Their efforts help ensure that ideas and cultures are understood and appreciated across different languages, promoting international collaboration.

The 30th of September is the feast of St. Jerome, the Bible translator, who is considered the patron saint of translators.
