Gave dad note for translation (7)
I believe the answer is:
donated
'gave' is the definition.
(donating is a kind of giving)
'dad note for translation' is the wordplay.
'for translation' indicates an anagram.
'dad'+'note'='dadnote'
'dadnote' is an anagram of 'DONATED'.
(Other definitions for donated that I've seen before include "Presented" , "Gave" , "Given" .)
