Today human-machine collaboration for a translation is urgently needed. Due to the ease and convenience of using machine translation, its use has become routine for the general public, and as a result, translation is no longer recognized as a specialized field for the professional translators. In addition to translation, learners in all fields are increasingly using convenient and free online translators to translate, read, and write. However, despite being fully aware of the situation, educators in all fields have been mostly negative and passive in their responses. Therefore, it is clear that machine translation has become a taboo topic in today’s university classrooms, especially in graduate schools of translation and interpreting, and are marginalized from formal discussions. In this context, the machine translation literacy instruction needs to be introduced into translation education for a sustainable translation profession in the age of AI. And future education of machine translation literacy should cultivate professional translators who are both informed and critical about various machine translation technologies and machine translation consultants who can utilize their expertise in the use of machine translation to help citizens and clients use machine translation wisely and responsibly.
