Translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins after the transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.
Once mRNA is produced, it leaves the nucleus and protein synthesis - translation - occurs in the cytoplasm. 
The message carried by the mRNA is read by a carrier molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA).  The mRNA is read three letters (a codon) at a time. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. 
Each amino acid is attached specifically to its own tRNA molecule.When the mRNA sequence is read, each tRNA molecule delivers its amino acid to the ribosome and binds temporarily to the corresponding codon on the mRNA molecule. Once the tRNA is bound, it releases its amino acid and the adjacent amino acids all join together into a long chain called a polypeptide.  This process continues until a protein is formed.
You may use the diagram below as a visual for the process of translation (protein synthesis).
