| Abstract | In this article, we discuss the need for a new digital literacy among language students, namely a literacy in relation to the use of machine translation (MT): MT literacy, following Bowker and Buitrago Ciro (2019). This article does not focus on translation students who, due to the demands of the translation market, have already received a lot of attention from researchers. Rather, we focus on undergraduate language students, and argue that because of their massive use of free online translators--either to translate or to read and write in the language they are learning--instructors need to include a discussion on such tools. We argue that this discussion should include technical and ethical considerations, with a focus on how to ensure that students are able to use MT critically, identifying and correcting errors, for future professional use. Finally, we discuss the thorny issue of evaluation for this type of digital literacy. The discussion is based on several experiments conducted with undergraduate students enrolled in their final year of a three-year program in applied languages. We also believe that the teaching of such skills should not be restricted to language students, since students of all disciplines use online translators, and may continue to do so throughout their professional lives.
