Translations only move the graph to another position on coordinate system.  They do not change the shape nor form like a dilation would.

Take sine and cosine graphs for example.  They both have a wavy appearance to them.  If you translate a sine and a cosine graph horizontally, the graph will still have that wavy appearance and maintain its size.
