Lads aren't playing after temperature changed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

translated

'changed' is the definition.
(translating is a kind of changing)

'lads aren't playing after temperature' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'lads'+'arent'='ladsarent'
'ladsarent' with letters rearranged gives 'ranslated'.
'ranslated' put after 't' is 'TRANSLATED'.

(Other definitions for translated that I've seen before include "Interpreted" , "as Bottom was" , "Switched language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
