The answer is unfortunately not interesting. A permutation $\pi$ of the real line is called a translation if there exists a real number $a$ such that $\pi(x)=x+a$ for all $x$. The translations form a subgroup of the permutation group of $\mathbb{R}$, and this subgroup is isomorphic to the reals under addition.
