The International Federation of Translators, FIT was the organization to propose the idea of international translation day in 199. The main aim behind the proposal was to dedicate a global day to recognize the role the translators and other language professionals in the world.
The role of translators got more important as the world saw its fair share of globalization. It was on 24 May 2017, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to observe World translation day on 30 September every year.
Translators use language as their tool to connect the world and help achieve peace, prosperity, and development in the world, which is not possible without effective communication.
