Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model this study seeks; to determine the effect of machine translators on team efficiency, collaboration, trust building, and training among students on work-study jobs in Hungary. International students (N=105) from the University of Debrecen participated in the study. Findings indicate that machine translators significantly and positively contributed to team performance by boosting efficiency, collaboration, trust, and training. Every unit increase in use of Machine Translators translated to a corresponding increase in team efficiency, collaboration, trust, and training: a significant finding that indicates their instrumental role in breaking the language barrier in a linguistically diverse workplace.
