At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
International Translation Day is celebrated in several countries in the world.
On this day, the United Nations honor hundreds of language professionals and interpreters that work in its office and encourages other organizations and individuals to do the same.
The International Federation of Translators (FIT) has been celebrating this day since 1953. However, the first formal celebration of the day took place in 1991.
Although the International Federation of Translators (FIT) had been celebrating International Translation Day since 1991, the day was formally announced by the United Nations on May 24, 2017 when it adopted a resolution to honor language professionals who unite the world by ensuring smooth communication.
Translation plays a crucial role in connecting people from all over the world. In honor of International Translation Day, read about the history of translation and the several events that led to the creation of this holiday below.
On September 30, the United Nations declared International Translation Day to recognize language professionals worldwide. This day aims to raise awareness of the importance of the translation industry, especially in the age of globalization. It also highlights the critical role that translators and language specialists play in promoting global understanding, improving dialogue, and facilitating communication and cooperation. The International Federation of Translators announces a specific theme to commemorate this day each year. In 2021, for example, the theme was 'United In Translation.'

The United Nations picked September 30 as International Translation Day because it coincides with the feast of St. Jerome, who is regarded as the patron saint of translators.
On International Translation Day, the United Nations encourages its staff members and university students to contend in the UN St. Jerome Translation Contest, which awards prizes for top translations in English, Arabic, French, German, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.
According to most translators, Spanish is one of the easiest languages to translate, along with French, Romanian, and Portuguese. So, if you want to learn a new language on International Translation Day, you can start with any of these.
No, the United Nations declared September 30 as International Translation Day in 2017.
A minor miscommunication can lead to huge misunderstandings and unfavorable outcomes. Language professionals, translators, and interpreters focus their efforts on ensuring that such incidents never occur, and that is what International Translation Day celebrates every year.
While International Translation Day is observed to celebrate the work of language specialists in fostering international dialogue and worldwide peace, International Mother Tongue Day promotes multilingualism and raises awareness about linguistic and cultural diversity.
International Translation Day was first celebrated by the International Federation of Translators (FIT) in 1991. In 2017, the United Nations adopted a resolution to honor the efforts of the translation industry and announced September 30 as International Translation Day.
This day aims to draw public attention to the critical role that a translator plays in ensuring smooth interpersonal communication, fostering cooperation, and supporting worldwide peace.
