How can I specify a "transition" value to be animated when I use "transform"?

NO css , we can use the transition property to define a transition effect when some of the properties of an element are changed.

Example:

.box{
    transition: all 1s linear;
    background-color: purple;
    height: 200px;
    box-sizing:border-box;
}

.box:hover{
    background-color: #add555;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px #000 inset;
}

<div class='box'></div>

In the case above, I used the all option, where all properties are affected by transition .

However, you can also define which and how some properties are changed.

For example:

.box:hover{
     transition: opacity 2s linear, background-color .2s ease;
 }

Note that I set only opacity and background-color in the above example.

But I have a problem.

I have a div that I want to animate its appearance with transform: scale(1) . But this same div has a property inside transform, which is translate(-50%, -50%) .

So:

.box{
  height: 100px;
  background-color: pink;
  position:fixed;
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  transform: scale(1) translate(-50%, -50%); 
  transition: transform 1s linear;
  
 }

.box:hover{
      transform:scale(0) translate(-50%, -50%);
 }

<div class="box"></div>

I need to animate transform , but only scale , I do not want to animate translate . Can you do this in css ?

Because after I added the translate, the animation was not what I wanted. In case, it has to be something like this:

.box{
  height: 100px;
  background-color: pink;
  position:fixed;
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
  left: 30%;
  top: 30%;
  transform: scale(1); 
  transition: transform 1s linear;
  
 }

.box:hover{
      transform:scale(0);
 }

<div class='box'></div>

How can I do this in css?
