I thought that the major difference between 'translate' and 'translateSelected' was that 'translate' does't change the stored coordinates while 'translateSelected' does change them. Although it isn't mentioned explicitly in the documentation. If 'translate' can behave both ways it would be good to clarify the different behaviour of the command for different options in the documentation.
