upogib, zvijanje, deformacija, odklon
Explanation:
This particular term can be translated into Slovenian language in several ways; I hope I can help you find the translation you're looking for. According to the Great English-Slovene dictionary it can mean all of the above when found in a technical text (depending on the subject).

To help you decide which translation you should pick:

Upogib - if your text is about construction, construction materials etc. For example: deflection (SLO. upogib) is the vertical movement of a pavement under load.

Zvijanje & deformacija - if the text is about deformation of metal components of a machine, device etc. You can also use the expression 'deformacija' (ENG. deformation) in this context. The term zvijanje is also used when talking about thermal deflection of plastic materials (see page 8 of Journal of Mechanical Engineering at http://www.fs.uni-lj.si/sv/English/2006/sv-10-an.pdf)

Odklon - when something if deflected from a suface, e.g. a light beam deflected from a smooth surface.

I tried to provide all the definitions you might need. Hope that helps :)

OK, two votes for more details ... Actually, I'll go for less and you'll tell me what you think :D


What gets deflected: Which word should be used:

pavement, concrete, wooden beams > upogib
spikes, rods, metal bars, plastics > zvijanje OR deformacija
electron beam, laser beams, rays > odklon


And OK, I will provide some more details: please note that the Slovenian word deformacija can mean several things (not just deflection) and its meaning is rather consistent with that of its English counterpart (deformation).
