September 30 was designated International Translation Day (ITD) in 1953. The day has always been a time to congratulate ourselves on a job well done. This year is different! In August, ATA called on members to make ITD 2018 about reaching out and raising awareness of the translation and interpreting professions. Listen in now as ATA volunteers Jamie Hartz and Molly Yurick tell Host Matt Baird how the plans all came together as a full-on social media blitz. #InternationalTranslationDay #ataitd2018
