   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".
