Today, we have entered an era of big data. Under the background of global economization, communication in all walks of life is becoming more and more frequent and cross-language communication is inevitable. Cross-language communication is difficult for many people. The online translation system can greatly reduce the communication barriers between people of different languages. As an efficient tool, the translation system can realize the translation of different languages under the conditions of retaining the original semantics equivalent conversion. The article adopts the Internet of Things technology and big data model to build an English intelligent translation system, which can realize intelligent translation between multiple languages and English. The research results of the article show the following: (1) For samples with high semantic feature values, the correlation coefficient and similarity coefficient will be higher. Therefore, it can be concluded that for different semantics, the similarity is generally positively correlated with its feature value and correlation coefficient. The translation speed of the system proposed in the article is the fastest among the three translation systems. When the number of sentences is 10,000, the translation speed of the translation system proposed in the article is 5.89 seconds, the translation speed of the network multilingual translation system is 6.74 seconds, and the translation speed of the traditional translation system is 10.53 seconds. (2) The translation accuracy of the big data intelligent translation model proposed in the article is the highest among the three models. The translation accuracy of simple sentences can reach 99%. The translation accuracy of general sentences is 98%, and the translation accuracy of complex sentences is 95%. The BLEU value of the method in this paper is basically the same as that of the RNN cyclic neural network translation model. When translating general sentences, the BLEU value of the method in this paper is slightly higher than that of the RNN cyclic neural network translation model; especially when translating complex sentences by machine, the BLEU value of the method in this paper is far higher than that of the RNN translation model. (3) The average response time will increase with the increase in the number of tests, and the success rate generally remains above 98%, close to 100%, indicating that the response time of the system operation is normal. The number of designed test cases for the data processing module is 90, the number of executed test cases is 90, and the execution rate can reach 100%. Normal operation means that in the process of operation, no fault occurs. In the system load test, the load of serial number 1 is normal, the average delay is 38 seconds, the average delay of serial number 2 is 48 seconds, the average delay of serial number 3 is 59 seconds, the average delay of serial number 4 is 62 seconds, and the average delay of serial number 5 is 47 seconds. The delay of data packets under all kinds of loads can meet the standard requirements.
