DYK #language professionals' contribution to #multilateralism pre-existed the @UN?

Ever think about how multilateral proceedings would grind to a halt without the high-quality documentation delivered—on time and in all six official #languages—by @UN #translation staff?

On the 75th anniversary of the UN, we pay tribute to UN #translators worldwide.

#اليوم_العالمي_للترجمه هو يوم الحياة؛ فـ:

لولا #الترجمة لاستقلت كل لغة بمكوناتها، ولأصبحنا عوالم متفرقة لا عالم موحد.

لولا #الترجمة لتمايزت الأمم، وتراجعت العلوم، وتأخر التطور.

لولا #الترجمة لاندثرت الثقافات، ودُفنت الحضارات، وجمدت الآداب.

لولاكم يارفاق #الترجمة ماكان غيركم.

Language professionals are essential to the work of the @UN.
Translation Services translate all official UN documents, meeting records and correspondence from and to six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

#InternationalTranslationDay

If you thought the work of a @UN translator was straightforward, then think again. Translator Kathy Durnin said that hours of dedicated work go on behind the scenes, to keep everyone “on message”.
