First of all, remember that translation is a transformation which doesn't imply a change of size or shape, that is, the image will be congruent to its image.
Having said that, the complete paragraph would be
When a figure is translated its orientation remains the same and the measurements of its angles remain the same.
The orientation doesn't change because it's defined as the position of points of the figure, these points change its position where we rotate the figure, which is not the case here.
