Abstract: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, AI translation has become in- creasingly important in the language service industry. The study aims to explore whether AI translation can effectively replace human translation. By comparing the case of translating China's 24 solar terms into Vietnamese, it analyzes the pros and cons, advantages, limitations, and future development trends of AI translation and human translation in practice. The results show that although AI translation shows great potential in professional translation practice, it still requires human assistance and supervision to achieve the optimal translation outcomes.

Key words: AI translation, human translation, Vietnamese, China's 24 solar terms, translation comparisons
