Translation is the technical term when a bishop is transferred from one episcopal see to another, from Latin trānslātiō, "carry across". (Another religious meaning of the term is the translation of relics.)

This can be

  • 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
