🇺🇳 30 September marks International Translation Day - a professional occasion honouring those who help people, organizations and States understand one another every day.
This work is of particular importance at the United Nations, where multilateral diplomacy would be impossible without accurate and professional linguistic communication. The six official languages of the United Nations - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish - ensure the full participation of States in the work of the Organization.
Translation of international documents, statements and negotiations involves far more than simply conveying words from one language into another. It requires preserving the exact meaning, legal nuances, diplomatic formulations and context - sometimes in circumstances where a single word can affect the interpretation of an entire position.
🤝 We congratulate all translators and language professionals on their professional day! We wish you precision in every formulation, engaging and meaningful work, and continued professionalism.
