What's the difference between transform and translation?

Transform


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To change the form of; to change in shape or appearance; to metamorphose; as, a caterpillar is ultimately transformed into a butterfly.
  • (v. t.) To change into another substance; to transmute; as, the alchemists sought to transform lead into gold.

  • (v. t.) To change, as an algebraic expression or geometrical figure, into another from without altering its value.
  • (v. i.) To be changed in form; to be metamorphosed.

Translation


Definition:
