The answer from Neil is good, but I just want to point out that it is Transaction rather than Translation, which may help understand what it is for a bit better. – Rich May 30 '17 at 07:19

"Online" as opposed to "Batch"
Instead of submitting a job to be processed at the end of the day and getting a report in the morning, you submit a query and get the results right away
