International Translation Day

Hello!

Today is an important day for the translators and that's why in this post I wanted to share with you a little bit of story.

30 September is the International Translation Day because it is commemorated the death of Saint Jerome, the translator of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin. This version of the Bible is known as the Vulgate (vulgar Latin) and it was characterized by being simpler to understand than another previous versions. Therefore, St. Jerome is considered the patron of the translators.

As you can see, the task of the translation has always been done, because the humans need to communicate. In this case, the translation of the Bible have been able to transmit beliefs that have influenced millions of people.
