OK

- TranslationPaginatedList
  - `items` Translation[]
    - `__typename` string
    - `aminoAcids` string: Calculated amino acid translation of the specified regions, combining codons across regions if necessary.
    - `color` string: Hex color when displaying the translation.
    - `customFields` CustomField[]: Custom fields on the translation.
      - `__typename` string
      - `name` string, nullable
      - `value` string, nullable
    - `end` integer, nullable: 0-based exclusive end index. For ranges ending at the end of a circular sequence, this value is always the length of the sequence, never 0. Use regions instead for location information.

    - `regions` RegionsListItem[]: Array of regions of the translation. For single-region translations, this is an array with one element.
      - `__typename` string
      - `end` integer: 0-based exclusive end index. For ranges ending at the end of a circular sequence, this value is always the length of the sequence, never 0.
      - `start` integer: 0-based inclusive start index.
    - `start` integer, nullable: 0-based inclusive start index. Use regions instead for location information.
    - `strand` 'FORWARD' | 'REVERSE': Strand orientation for this translation: `FORWARD` or `REVERSE`.
    - `translateFirstCodonToMethionine` boolean: Whether or not the first codon has been forced to be translated as methionine.
  - `nextToken` string, nullable
