Coffee Break: International Translation Day

by Anna Reed

September 30, 2016

It's International Translation Day, which is meant to show solidarity of the worldwide translation community in an effort to promote the translation profession in different countries.

Celebrating this day was originally in the name of St. Jerome, the Bible translator, who is considered the patron saint of translators.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature phrases in other languages?

Songs played

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Lady Marmalade - LaBelle
Loser - Beck
My Cherie Amour - Stevie Wonder
Artangels - Grimes
Mr. Roboto - Styx
Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
Michelle - The Beatles
