Article penned by solver: end translated in African capital (7)
I believe the answer is:
yaounde
'african capital' is the definition.
(capital of Cameroon)
'article penned by solver end translated' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'penned by' is an insertion indicator.
'solver' becomes 'you' (the person solving the crossword).
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a' put into 'you' is 'yaou'.
'end' anagrammed gives 'nde'.
'yaou'+'nde'='YAOUNDE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for yaounde that I've seen before include "Republic of Cameroon capital" , "African capital" .)
