What Is Trlation?
A translation is applied to an object by repositioning it along a straight line path from one coordinate location to another. We translate a two-dimensional point by adding translation distances, tx and ty, to original coordinate position (x, y) to move the point to a new position (x', y'). x' = x + tx, y' = y + ty. The translation distance pair (tx, ty ) is called a translation vector or shift vector.
