contents We study the stable translation length of homeomorphisms of a surface acting on the fine nonseparating curve graph and compare it to the stable translation lengths of its finite approximations - mapping classes relative to a finite invariant set - acting on the nonseparating curve graph. We prove that the stable translation length of a homeomorphism with a dense set of periodic points is the supremum of the stable translation lengths of its approximations, and that the stable translation length is preserved under cell-like extensions. We deduce that homotopically triv ial homeomorphisms of the torus have stable translation length which is the supremum of the stable translation lengths of their finite approximations. We show that the supremum is not always a maximum, by proving that the stable translation length of a mapping class acting on the nonseparating curve graph is rational.
