Gild the illuminated translation (7)
I believe the answer is:
lighted
'illuminated translation' is the definition.
'lighted' can be an answer for 'illuminated' ('light' can be a synonym of 'illuminate'). I am unsure of the 'translation' bit.
'gild the' is the wordplay.
'gild the' can be anagrammed to 'LIGHTED'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lighted that I've seen before include "Illuminated; landed" , "Given illumination" , "became cheerful" .)
