Abstract
The aim of this paper is to classify the singularities of caustics, which have implications for a wide range of physical applications, of translation
surfaces. In addition, we give a particular study on ridge point,
sub-parabolic ridge point, and constant curvature line on
translation surface and we find that there is no elliptic umblic
on translation surface.
