translations
- 1Plural of translation.

Note
The plural counts individual things, so it gathers the countable uses of translation: separate versions of a text, or, in geometry and mechanics, separate straight-line shifts of a figure or body without rotation. The discipline that stands opposite interpretation, and the process by which mRNA directs protein assembly, are normally treated as uncountable wholes, so translations seldom means them. Both a poem and a triangle can have two translations.
