A translated scale is a scale with scale steps taken from one edo and mapped to another edo. For instance, taking 19edo's diatonic scale steps and mapping them to 12edo gives you a very fascinating scale containing a lot of quartal harmony.

Translated scales were independently discovered by both Carmen14edo and Xenoindex, and Xenoindex instead refers to them as a "virtual equivalency interval" (for example, 19\12 is a virtual equivalency interval of 12edo roughly equal to a tritave).
