A mapping of an algebraic system onto itself that is either the identity mapping or can be expressed as the product of a finite number of principal translations (also called elementary translations). An equivalence relation on an algebraic system is a congruence (in algebra) if and only if it is closed with respect to all translations (or with respect to merely principal translations).
