In Geometry, Translation simply means Moving ... ... without rotating, resizing or anything else, just moving. To Translate a shape: Every point of the shape must move: the same distance. in the same direction.
Transformations and Isometries. A transformation is a process which changes the position (and possibly the size and orientation) of a shape. There are four types of transformations: reflection, rotation, translation and enlargement. Translation (also known as Slide) moves a shape by sliding it up, down, sideways or diagonally, without turning it or making it bigger or smaller. Point A has been translated to A'' by moving 8 squared to the right and then 4 squares up. This translation is written as a vector.
