Examiner not precise in translation out of English (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspector

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

'examiner' is the definition.
(I know that examiner can be written as inspector)

'not precise in translation out of english' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inspector that I've seen before include "Police officer" , "Policeman; compliance official" , "reviewer" , "Ticket examiner" , "one to check" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
