With the advancement of globalization and the Belt and Road initiative, the demand for high-quality translation talents is continuously increasing, especially in universities in western China where translation masters programs face issues such as a disconnect between theory and practice and unreasonable course settings. This paper aims to explore optimization strategies for the training mechanism of translation masters students from the perspective of collaborative innovation. The study first analyzes the current state of translation masters programs in universities in western China, revealing the major problems. Then, taking the translation masters program at the School of Foreign Languages, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, as a case study, the paper discusses the application of collaborative innovation in the training of translation talents, emphasizing school-enterprise cooperation, interdisciplinary integration, and multi-party collaboration among government, enterprises, and universities. By interviewing enterprises and industry experts, this paper proposes optimization suggestions for the training mechanism based on collaborative innovation, including the establishment of multi-party collaborative platforms, the restructuring of the curriculum system, and strengthening practical teaching. These measures aim to improve the overall level of translation education in universities in Western China and cultivate high-quality applied translation talents that meet the demands of the new era. This study offers valuable reference for the reform of translation masters education, the promotion of regional economic development and cultural exchange, and the enhancement of international communication capabilities.
