Neat prose transcribed into another language (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esperanto

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

'language' is the definition.
(Esperanto is an example)

'neat prose transcribed into another' is the wordplay.
'neat prose' anagrams to 'ESPERANTO'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for esperanto that I've seen before include "Modern language" , "Artificial international language devised in 1887" , "Linguistic invention" , "words, set up artificially?" , "Personate in artificial language" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
