contents We provide a complete classification of groups that can be realized as isometry groups of a translation surface $M$ with non-finitely generated fundamental group and no planar ends. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if $S$ has no non-displaceable subsurfaces and its space of ends is self-similar, then every countable subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}^+(2,\mathbb{R})$ can be realized as the Veech group of a translation surface $M$ homeomorphic to $S$. The latter result generalizes and improves upon the previous findings of Przytycki-Valdez-Weitze-Schmithüsen and Maluendas-Valdez. To prove these results, we adapt ideas from the work of Aougab-Patel-Vlamis, which focused on hyperbolic surfaces, to translation surfaces.
