In a translation transformation all the points in the object are removed in a straight line in the same direction. The size, the shape and the orientation of the image are the same as that of the original object. Same orientation means that the object and imageare facing the same direction. Example: We describe a translation in terms of the number of units moved to the right or left and thenumber of units moved up or down. Example: Move the object 2 units to the right and 4 units up.
