contents An embedding of a graph on a translation surface is said to be \emph{systolic} if each vertex of the graph corresponds to a singular point (or marked point) and each edge corresponds to a shortest saddle connection on the translation surface. The embedding is said to be \emph{cellular} (respectively \emph{essential}) if each complementary region is a topological disk (respectively not a topological disk). In this article, we prove that any finite graph admits an essential-systolic embedding on a translation surface and estimate the genera of such surfaces. For a wedge $Σ_n$ of $n$ circles, $n\geq2$, we investigate that $Σ_n$ admits cellular-systolic embedding on a translation surface and compute the minimum and maximum genera of such surfaces. Finally, we have identified another rich collection of graphs with more than one vertex that also admit cellular-sytolic embedding on translation surfaces.
