Abstract
In the present paper we study the Sol geometry, which is one of the eight homogeneous Thurston 3-geometries. We determine the equation of the translation-like bisector surface of any two points. We prove that the isosceles property of a translation triangle is not equivalent to two angles of the triangle being equal, and that the triangle inequalities do not remain valid for translation triangles in general.
