Translation (geometry)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. See also affine transformation. This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by fixing it.
