Translation (ecclesiastical) explained

Translation is the transfer of a bishop from one episcopal see to another. The word is from the Latin Latin: translatio, meaning "carry across" (another religious meaning of the term is the translation of relics).^{[1] [2]}

This can be:

• From one diocesan bishopric to another bishopric which is perceived as more important (or the bishop prefers as his or her see)
• From suffragan bishop status to diocesan bishop
• From coadjutor bishop to diocesan bishop
• From one country's episcopate to another
• From diocesan bishop to archbishop
