Translators' Day in Armenia is celebrated on October 21st to honor the work and contribution of translators and interpreters in the cultural and intellectual development of the country. This day commemorates Saint Mesrop Mashtots, who is best known for creating the Armenian alphabet in 405 AD, enabling the translation of the Bible into Armenian and fostering a rich literary tradition.
The choice of October 21st aligns with Saint Mesrop Mashtots's memorial day. His work as a translator was crucial for Armenia's cultural identity, making him a fitting symbol for Translators' Day.
On this day, various events are organized to recognize and celebrate the profession:
Conferences and Workshops: Professionals gather to discuss linguistic challenges, share knowledge, and explore new tools in translation and interpretation.
Awards Ceremonies: Outstanding translators may be recognized for their contributions to literature, academia, or diplomacy.
