Jan 23, 2022 at 9:41 comment added Sam Nead Ah, I did not understand your definition of "translation". With this definition I think you are precisely correct. :)
Jan 23, 2022 at 2:41 comment added Ian Agol @SamNead Well, what I meant was that there is a point in the 1-manifold whose translate lies in the same chart (interval). So I wouldn’t count your example as a translation.
Jan 22, 2022 at 21:41 comment added Sam Nead I think that "transverse iff translation" can't be true in the non-Hausdorff case. This is because the failure of transversality is "local" while having positive translational part is "global". For example, suppose that $A, B, C_t$ are all connected distinct leaves, with the Hausdorff limit of the $C_t$ containing $A \sqcup B$. Then an arc from $A$ to $B$ will never be transverse.
