From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In Euclidean geometry, translation is the transformation of moving every point by a fixed distance in the same direction. It can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as changing the origin of the coordinate system.
Distances are preserved under a translation, and so shapes and sizes remain the same.
