    A \textit{translating soliton} for the mean curvature flow is an immersed hypersurface \(\Sigma ^n\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) satisfying the condition \(H= \langle e_{n+1}, \nu \rangle\), where \(H\) denotes the mean curvature, \(\nu \) is the global unit normal vector field of \(\Sigma \) and \(e_{n+1}\) is the unity direction. Many efforts have been spent to classify convex translating solitons. The main result of the paper is: Theorem. Let \(\Sigma ^n\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\), \(n\geq 3\), be a complete immersed two-sided \(2\)-convex translating soliton. Then \(\Sigma \) is convex.
