  In this paper, we first prove that given pairwise distinct algebraic numbers
$\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n$, the numbers $\alpha_1+t, \ldots, \alpha_n+t$ are
multiplicatively independent for all sufficiently large integers $t$. Then, for
a pair $(a,b)$ of distinct integers, we study how many pairs $(a+t,b+t)$ are
multiplicatively dependent when $t$ runs through the integers. For such a pair
$(a,b)$ with $b-a=30$ we show that there are $13$ integers $t$ for which the
pair $(a+t,b+t)$ is multiplicatively dependent. We conjecture that $13$ is the
largest value of such translations for any $(a,b)$, where $a \ne b$, prove this
for all pairs $(a,b)$ with difference at most $10^{10}$, and, assuming that the
$ABC$ conjecture is true, show that for any such pair $(a,b)$, $a \ne b$, there
is an absolute bound $C_1$ (independent of $a$ and $b$) on the number of such
translations $t$.
