愿学翻译的你， 节日快乐。
2017年5月24日，第71届联合国大会一致通过关于“专业翻译在实现各国互联互通及促进和平、了解和发展中的作用”的第A/71/L.68号决议，将每年9月30日正式确定为国际翻译日（International Translation Day）。
今年的主题是：Finding the words for a world in crisis（为危机中的世界寻求沟通）。
ITD 2020: Finding the words for a world in crisis
Celebrate International Translation Day (ITD) 2020 with our winning poster design for this year’s ITD theme: Finding the words for a world in crisis.
Our profession has been pivoting rapidly to keep up with changing realities and expectations, and the importance of our work to ensuring clear information reaches everyone and overcoming language barriers – both global and local – has been highlighted in unprecedented ways this year.
Translators, terminologists and interpreters provide crucial services both on the front line and behind the news in crisis situations, so let’s celebrate our contributions amongst ourselves as well as provide the general public with information about our work.
This year’s ITD poster competition received a record of 46 entries. The winning design came from Liza Gunenko and captures the importance of unity and solidarity to counterbalance the looming crisis. More information about her is to follow soon on the FIT website and social media.
Born in Russia, Gunenko lived for 8 years in Egypt, returning to Russia at the age of 18. She first began to study translation and interpreting and then undertook three-year vocational training in art and design after having been interested in drawing since around the age of 12. Following her art and design training, Gunenko has started taking commissions. Her main experience has been in logo and user interface/experience design as well as in creating illustrations and game assets.
This year, let us celebrate ITD as never before. Join together, while keeping a safe distance, in whatever way you can. Download the poster and share it to promote your celebrations.
To all our members, we say, stay safe. Working together, we will overcome the challenges ahead.
Each year, translators, interpreters and terminologists celebrate International Translation Day on 30 September, the feast of St. Jerome. A unifying theme is chosen each year and a competition is held to design a poster for FIT members to print and use to promote the day and join together in celebrating our professions.
In 2017 we achieved an historical milestone for all professional translators, interpreters and terminologists, with the 71st Session of the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopting Resolution A/RES/71/288, recognising the role of professional translation in connecting nations, and fostering peace, understanding and development. In the same resolution, the United Nations General Assembly declared 30 September to be UN International Translation Day, celebrated across the entire UN network.
