Since there is no nucleus surrounding the genetic material in prokaryote cells, the transcription and translation processes occur simultaneously. Transcription stops when a protein is not necessary. So the control of protein synthesis is regulated by transcription and not translation. Once the transcription is on, all the following steps must follow it.

Transcription is the process that controls the genic expression in bacteria.

Eukaryotes do possess a nuclear membrane that separates the genetic material from the rest of the cell. The transcription process occurs inside the nucleus membrane, while the translation process occurs outside. In the cytoplasm occur the translation process and protein synthesis. Genic regulation can happen in any of these processes in different regions of the cells.

In eukaryotes, the regulation of the genic expression control might happen at different levels:

Epigenetic level: When DNA molecules open and nucleosomes separate to join the transcriptional factors
Transcription level: When the messenger RNA is being transcripted
Post-transcription level: When mRNA goes to the cytoplasm
Translation level: During the protein elongation
Post-translation level: Once the protein synthesis is over.
