translator's
Language converter's possession
Translator's is the possessive form of translator—a person who converts text or speech from one language to another.
The possessive typically modifies something belonging to or associated with that work: a translator's note explains a choice or provides context, a translator's fee is what they charge.
The translator's interpretation shaped how English readers understood the novel.
