Translation is one of the "rigid motion" applied! Rigid Motion is when when you are dealing with isometries(translation, rotation, reflection etc.), they produce congruent figures.

Translations only MOVE the figure. Meaning it would stay exactly the same size and shape, no matter where it is.

So yes.

Congruent Definition:

(of figures) identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed.
