What is translation in geometry?

A translation is when a shape slides. There are three other transformations other than this: * rotation * dilation * reflection. During translation, an object changes its position but not orientation.

What is the definition of translation?

The term "translation" can be generally defined as the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and production of an equivalent text that communicates the same message in another language. In geometry and physics, translation is the relocation of the position of points or objects. In cellular reproduction, translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis.


Is a translation the same as a slide flip or rotation?

Neither, because a translation is only moving across one plane. Slide flip isn't even used in geometry. I'm not sure what that is. A rotation is moving across and axis from a specific point, which cannot be done in a translation.
