Translation (y,z) are a lot of it (same as the Sony system).

The weakness of that is pitch and roll is also present. Yaw is a lesser
concern. When you depress the shutter you can easily roll the camera a
little. Along the lens axis, if not well balanced, is the other concern
(pitch).

Translation of the sensor (as the Sony system) is used to counteract the yaw
and pitch (rotation) of the camera.

To my knowledge it is not used to counteract the translation of the camera
itself.
That would be usefull for closeup situations, but not for general usage.
