Morphology

MT = machine + translation (opaque) = M + T

MT is an initialism; the letters themselves do not allow learners to derive the meaning without knowing the expansion 'machine translation'.

Etymology

MT is short for machine translation, which is 'translation' done by a 'machine' or computer. So MT means using computers to change text or speech from one language to another.
