International Translation Day is celebrated every year on September 30th on the feast of St. Jerome, the Bible translator who is considered as the patron saint of translators.
The celebrations have been promoted by FIT (the International Federation of Translators 
) ever since it was set up in 1953. In 1991 FIT launched the idea of an officially recognised International Translation Day to show solidarity of the worldwide translation community in an effort to promote the translation profession in different countries (not necessarily only in Christian ones).
Τhe theme for the 2012 celebration of International Translation Day (ITD) is "Translation as Intercultural Communication".
According to the official announcement "the International Federation of Translators in 2012 will continue to build bridges among diverse cultures and facilitate intercultural communication that creates prosperity and cultural enrichment for all".
