I believe the answer is:

originality

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

'novel ideas in a trilogy i translated' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'in a trilogy i translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'a'+'trilogy'+'i'='inatrilogyi'
'inatrilogyi' anagrammed gives 'ORIGINALITY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for originality that I've seen before include "Innovativeness" , "Inventiveness; novelty" , "Novel quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
