Abstract: Translation plays an important role in the development of metallurgical international trade and technology. Under the background of new engineering, taking metallurgical engineering as an example, this paper points out the challenges for colleges and universities to train metallurgical talents through the analysis of the training programs of colleges and universities with obvious metallurgical advantages. Colleges and universities should attach importance to the training of translation talents with metallurgical characteristics, improve the content of training objectives, optimize the curriculum and teaching content, combine knowledge of metallurgy and translation, promote diversified and collaborative educational methods inside and outside the school and build the practice path of high-quality teaching staff, so as to cultivate high-quality translation talents with metallurgical characteristics.
