Natively taxonomy term doesn't support machine name such as vocabulary. I have just developped a module to support a such feature. It alters taxonomy term properties by addind a new field named "machine_name" which can be typed or automatically generated using the term name.

https://www.drupal.org/project/taxonomy_machine_name

Hope it helps you or someone else.

Ok, this path is generated by Drupal core module "path" and I solved in following way.

$out_alias = drupal_lookup_path('alias', 'taxonomy/term/3');

The second option could be:

$out_alias = url('taxonomy/term/3');

Thanks for your time.

Use pathauto's pathauto_cleanstring() function to clean up the string of your taxonomy term.
