Translation (ecclesiastical)

Translation is the transfer of a bishop from one episcopal see to another. The word is from the 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
