Happy International Translation Day!

Professional translators profoundly impact our society daily. These language experts make communication across cultures and borders possible. International Translation Day, on September 30th, recognizes these translators’ invaluable role in shaping a world that overcomes any language gap.

We at Metaphrasis can make our translation services possible through some very talented experts. On this International Translation Day, we celebrate our beloved translators who enable our partners and clients to enjoy uninterrupted and seamless communication all over the world.

International Translation Day

International Translation Day was founded by the International Federation of Translators (FIT). Why September 30th? This was originally the ‘feast day’ to celebrate St. Jerome. He had translated the Bible into Latin, bringing it to a broader audience. It earned him the moniker of the “patron saint of translators.” The day, created to honor him, today reminds us how translation bridges language gaps and eases global communication.

Celebrating Cultural Connections

The United Nations General Assembly values facilitating intercultural dialogue and nurturing cultural heritage. International Translation Day promotes these values. By celebrating this day, we acknowledge the essential role of translators in connecting nations and fostering peace.

Professional translation services benefit everyone. United Nations recognizes the importance of translation on global issues like human rights and development and is one of the world’s largest employers of language professionals. From world leaders to small business owners to new immigrants, Metaphrasis is here to assist all.

Professional Translation Services

Professional translation means every community has a voice, from the more popular languages like Spanish and French to the more obscure indigenous languages.

The human touch in a professional translation is crucial. Machine translation tools like Google Translate may be convenient. However, these lack the cultural sensitivity that human translators bring.

Why is Professional Translation Critical?

• Accuracy Expertise: Metaphrasis translators specialize in specific industries like legal, medical, technical, and financial translation. They are experts in industry jargons and regulations.
• Variety of Services: Do you need marketing translations? We provide everything from social media posts to website localizations to brochure translations. Or do you require legal, financial, or USCIS translation services? A professional translation agency offers you multiple options to choose from.
• Cultural Sensitivity: Our translators are cultural ambassadors. Our translations align with the local culture and preferences.
• Consistency Across Languages: We are consistent in tone, style, and message across languages. We ensure your brand’s voice is consistent, regardless of language.

Celebrating Multilingualism on International Translation Day

Each global language reflects the history and values of its speakers. Translation means this diversity can be shared and understood worldwide.

At Metaphrasis, we help you communicate in over 100 languages. On International Translation Day, we celebrate the many languages and the cultural expertise our translators bring to each project.
