Gild the illuminated translation (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lighted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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?
