Translated into CID talk (7)
I believe the answer is:
diction
'talk' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'translated into cid' is the wordplay.
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'into'+'cid'='intocid'
'intocid' with letters rearranged gives 'DICTION'.
(Other definitions for diction that I've seen before include "Elocution" , "Choice of words" , "One's manner of speaking or pronouncing words" , "words for speech" , "Style of enunciation" .)
