    The translation surfaces in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, whose Gauss map \(G\) satisfies the equation \(\Delta G=AG\), where \(\Delta \) denotes the Laplacian of the surface with respect to the induced metric and \(A\) is a \(3\times 3\) real matrix, are studied. A complete classification of these is given.
