      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              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".              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
