I want to translate an object along the y-axis.

I use
	translate y*size-delta

this gives an unexpected effect. (There seems to be a translation along 
the z axis aswell.

When I do
	translate y*size
	translate y*-delta
I get the expected result.

What am I missing?

Multiplication is performed before addition or subtraction, so that's
equivalent to

translate <0,1,0>*<size,size,size> - <delta,delta,delta>
or
translate <0,size,0> - <delta,delta,delta>
or
translate <-delta,size-delta,-delta>

What you want is

translate y*(size-delta)
