    Let \(F\) be any field. If \(n\ge 5\) (or \(n=4\) and \(\operatorname{char} F \ne 2\)), then the affine group \(\mathrm{AGL}_n F\) of the vector space \(F^n\) contains regular (i.e.\ sharply transitive) subgroups containing no translation. This extends previous results for finite fields, see [\textit{P. Hegedűs}, J. Algebra 225, No. 2, 740--742 (2000; Zbl 0953.20040)] and \textit{F. Catino} et al. [J. Algebra 455, 164--182 (2016; Zbl 1348.20002)].
