Let G be a locally compact group and let 1 <= p < infinity. We characterize supercyclic weighted translation operators on the Lebesgue space L-p(G) in terms of the weight. Using this result, the characterization for Cesaro hypercyclic weighted translation operators is given. We also determine when scalar multiples of weighted translation operators are hypercyclic and topologically mixing, and show, for any weighted translation operator T, beta T is mixing for all beta is an element of (1, 4) if T and 4T are mixing.
