It seems like you have started describing a translation of a shape called ABCDEFGH, but the information is incomplete. To determine the translation, we need to know the initial coordinates of the vertices of the shape and the coordinates after the translation.

A translation moves every point of a shape the same distance in a specified direction. To describe the translation accurately, we generally provide:
1. **The number of units moved** (horizontal or vertical distance).
2. **The direction of the movement** (right, left, up, or down).

If you can provide the coordinates of the shape before and after the translation, I can help determine how many units the shape moved and in which direction.

Would you like to share the coordinates or an image of the shape? 

### Follow-Up Questions:
1. What are the coordinates of the shape's vertices before and after translation?
2. Is the movement strictly horizontal, vertical, or diagonal?
3. Was the shape's orientation preserved during the translation?
4. Are there any specific units or grid references provided in the problem?
5. Is there any additional transformation applied to the shape apart from translation?

**Tip:** When analyzing a translation, look at how one specific vertex moves to understand the entire shape's shift.
