United Nations. 2017. "to celebrate the role of language professionals".
It's the feast day of St.Jerome, who's the patron not only of translators and interpreters, but also "Bible scholars, archivists, librarians, military linguists [?], encyclopedists and students." (Crystal)
Jerome's translations made up the standard Latin text of the Bible (the Vulgate).
The UN has a St Jerome Translation Contest (2005-), for "the best translations into Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish and German".
