KNOW INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY SEPT 30





EVERY COUNTRY IS UNIQUE  CONSIDERING THE VALUES OF CULTURE, HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, LANGUAGE AND SO ON.  LANGUAGES VARY BETWEEN HUMAN CULTURE BUT ARE LEARNED AND CULTURALLY TRANSMITTED OVER GENERATIONS .  A TRANSLATOR IS SOMEONE WHO CONVERTS THE WRITTEN WORD FROM ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER. HE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL WRITER OF THE TEXT BEING TRANSLATED BUT IT READS AS THOUGH IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN THE TARGET LANGUAGE.  THIS NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATION AND EXPERTISE .

TRANSLATORS ARE LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALS AND COMPETENT WRITERS.  THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THE CLIENT AND KNOW WHEN TO ASK QUESTIONS.  THE MAIN ROLE OF A LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR IS TO AUTHOR A PIECE OF WRITING.  THERE ARE PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK ON PROJECTS OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE.  THESE RANGE FROM NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO BY HUGE MULTINATIONAL COMP[ANIES . BUSINESSES AROUND THE GLOBE IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU KNOW OR SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. WHEN BUSINESS FLOURISH THE ECONOMY ALSO FLOURISHES . HAVING A MULTILINGUAL WEBSITE IT IS ALSO TO BE NOTED THAT TRANSLATION IS A PROFESSION THAT IS BECOMING AN ESSENTIAL NEED OF THE MOMENT IN THE PROGRESSIVE GLOBALIZATION ERA.  THE ROLE OF TRANSLATORS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN CONNECTING DIFFERENT NATIONS AND FOSTERING PEACE, DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING LEVEL.

TRANSLATORS COMMUNICATE INFORMATION FROM ONE LANGUAGE TO ANOTHER.FLUENCY IN LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED.  TRANSLATIONS GO THROUGH SEVERAL REVISIONS BEFORE BECOMING FINAL.  

INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE WORK OF LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALS WHO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN BRINGING NATIONS TOGETHER, STRENGTHENING WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY.  IT IS ALSO AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE THE PROFESSION OF TRANSLATION IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING LEVEL. 

THE THEME OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY 2020 IS 'FINDING THE WORDS FOR A WORLD IN CRISIS'.  DESPITE COVID-19 CRISIS, TRANSLATION PROFESSIONALS ARE MOST SIGNIFICANT TO MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF INFORMATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGE GROUPS
