Happy International Translation Day

You are here:

international translation day International Translation Day is celebrated every year on September 30 on the feast of St. Jerome, the patron saint of translators.

Saint Jerome (347–420) was a Catholic priest, theologian and historian. He is best known for his translation of most of the Bible into Latin (which became known as the Vulgate).

International Translation Day was launched in 1991 by the FIT, the International Federation of Translators, created in 1953. On that day, the UN encourage its member states to support the initiative and protect languages at the world level, “aspiring to greater solidarity on the basis of recognition of cultural diversity, of awareness of the unity of humankind, and of the development of intercultural exchanges” (UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity).

At Chang-Castillo and Associates, we are proud to celebrate our profession as translators and interpreters, which has become essential in the era of globalization, international travel, and trade markets. We show solidarity with and pay tribute to our colleagues who create cultural bridges, breaking down language barriers and enabling communication worldwide.

Happy International Translation Day!

The Politics of Language: The Best Interpreters Facilitate Diplomacy
September 13, 2018

I hired CCA to provide simultaneous interpretation support into French, German, Russian, and English during events in 3 different countries organized by my company with over 200 attendees. The technicians and interpreters were highly professional, friendly and well prepared. All 3 events went very smoothly and all participants were very satisfied with the quality of the interpretation work. Communication with the organizers was easy, and smooth. The project was handled very professionally. Working with you has been a pleasure too. Thank you for being so responsive and available. There is nothing I could think of that could have made the process easier. I will definitely use CCA's services again in the future.

We are always pleased with the consistent communication and greatly value the working relationship that we have formed. By far, Chang-Castillo has been the most organized, detail-oriented service that meets our international needs. This group has provided valuable solutions through our partnership.

Chang-Castillo and Associates were meticulous in their preparation and delivery. They were not merely accurate in their interpreting, but worked so hard to ensure the ideas being expressed came fully to life. Just got back from a conference in Hungary where the interpreters sent everyone to sleep – flat as a pancake. A great contrast with Chang-Castillo and Associates!

I cannot overstress the wonderful working relationship we had with you and your staff during our World Meet Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. You certainly took charge of this aspect of our event to ensure that everything was in place and well-rehearsed prior to the first speaker taking the stage. From the onset, I realized that we were in good hands. Onsite, we found your staff of interpreters to be courteous, well-educated and well suited to the intricacies of working within a high-attendance conference situation. It is a good thing that for the most part, we didn't even know they were there! Judging by reviews we received from our international attendees, your staff also was superb in their language skills. I should also mention that we found your services were competitively-priced and fit well within our budget. We will certainly be in touch prior to our next annual conference event.

Tom Tulloch
NASPL (The North American State and Provincial Lotteries), Director of Administration
Thank you Chang-Castillo, for providing continued excellent interpretation and translation services for my meetings. I appreciate your commitment to excellence, understanding my planning process and clients, and your dependability. Knowing I can count on you to provide the high level interpreters and equipment my clients require, makes working with you easy and a pleasure. You’re the best.
