Translation means Moving without rotating, resizing or anything else, just moving.
To Translate a shape
Every point of the shape must move:
- the same distance
- in the same direction.

Example
To say the shape gets moved 2 Units in the “x” direction, and 5 Units in the “y” direction, we can write:
(x, y) → (x + 2, y + 5)
Which says “all the x and y coordinates become x+2 and y+5”
