Language a winner, go for translation (9)
I believe the answer is:
norwegian
'language' is the definition.
(Norwegian is an example)
'a winner go for translation' is the wordplay.
'for translation' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'winner'+'go'='awinnergo'
'awinnergo' anagrammed gives 'NORWEGIAN'.
(Other definitions for norwegian that I've seen before include "Native of Bergen, say" , "Nationality of citizen of Oslo" , "Grieg perhaps" , "Foreigner" , "Native to, eg, Oslo" .)
