International Translation Day

This International Translation Day , we ask: what does the future hold for human translators? Rather than disappearing, their role is changing — from producing text to protecting meaning, quality, and ethics in ways machines cannot. In the @unescocourier , Joss Moorkens explored whether translators are an endangered species. Today, the question feels even more pressing, as the profession continues to change.

Translation is crucial to the work of the United Nations , facilitating dialogue, understanding & cooperation around the world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the most translated document in the world , existing in over 500 languages . On Tuesday’s September 30th ; International Translation Day , join us in thanking all language professionals whose work helps bring people and nations together.
