A translation moves every point of a figure or a space by the same amount in a given direction.
In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure, shape or space by the same distance in a given direction. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In a Euclidean space, any translation is an isometry. A slide is a translation along a screw axis, around which a rotation may also occur.
