At work, log on, accessing word for translation, knowing only English? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monoglot

'knowing only english?' is the definition.

'at work log on accessing word for translation' is the wordplay.
'at work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'accessing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters gain access).
'word for translation' becomes 'mot' (French for word).
'log'+'on'='logon'
'logon' is an anagram of 'onogl'.
'onogl' put inside 'mot' is 'MONOGLOT'.

(Other definitions for monoglot that I've seen before include "Speaking or writing only one language" , "Without a second language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
