# translate (List, offset1, offset2, offset3)

**translate (List, offset1, offset2, offset3) → List of number \[X coor, Y coor, Z coor]**

It transforms a given three-element list (usually representing a point or a vector) by applying offset values provided in sequence, resulting in a new list.

**Example:**

```xml
<O N="translateObject1" T="Project" Category="Functions" TransAlignRule="1">
    <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 8/23/2023 -->
    <P N="Point1" V="[10,5,20]" />
    <P N="Point2" V="translate(Point1,5,-5,10)" />
</O>
```
