-Shapes can be translated (moved) to another location. In other words, every point in the shape is moved by a fixed distance in the same direction. The offset can be positive or negative.
+Shapes can be translated (moved) to another location. In other words, every point in the shape is moved by a fixed distance as given by the ''offset''. The ''offset'' can be positive or negative.
 //[[http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/translation.html|Learn about translation at MathIsFun.com]]//
 Defaults:
-  * offset : 0 or [0,0,0]
+  * offset : [0, 0, 0]
 <code javascript>
-let obj = sphere(5)
+const myshape = sphere([radius: 5})
-obj = translate([0,0,10],obj)
+const newshape = translate([3, 7, -10], myshape)
 </code>
-The CSG library functions can also be used. //NOTE: Deprecated in the V2 API//
+In addition, there are simple versions of the same function for translating about a single axis.
 <code javascript>
-obj.translate([0,0,10])
+const myshape = sphere([radius: 5})
+let newshape = translateX(3, myshape)
+newshape = translateY(7, newshape)
+newshape = translateZ(-10, newshape)
