The focus of English majors is to communicate fluently with people from English-speaking countries, so translation teaching in English majors is very important. Now that we have entered the era of big data, the way of education has been updated with the development of science and technology. Big data technology can bring a new way to English professional translation teaching. The establishment of the English translation database can provide reference opinions for English teaching, provide more abundant and standardized teaching cases for English translation teaching, and improve the efficiency and quality of teaching. Today's databases can be built with the SQL Server database management system. The English database under the SQL Server database management system has a large capacity and stable operation, which is of great help to the establishment of an English database.
