Against the backdrop of the new era, the requirements of society and industries for English talents have gradually increased. As an important institution for cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents, the English major in higher vocational colleges not only needs to develop students’ basic English skills but also to strengthen their English translation capabilities. In the “Internet +” era, English translation teaching in higher vocational colleges has ushered in a new path of reform. This path can effectively solve problems in higher vocational English translation teaching, such as the single practical training scenario, rigid teaching mode, and insufficient technical tools. It innovates teaching methods and improves the quality of talent cultivation. Based on this, this paper aims to enhance students’ practical translation skills and career adaptability, providing references for higher vocational English translation teaching to meet the needs of the “Internet +” era and cultivate compound translation talents.
