To be singular to something

Question

After lots of searching and googling, I was not able to find any sense or meaning for the expression "is singular to" in the sentence below:

The capacity to release this pure language is singular to translation.

Could any one help me, please?

References would be really appreciated.

Huh. Sounds like an awkward paraphrase of "unique to" to me. — Mary, May 31, 2020 at 4:16
@Mary Not sure, although the context makes a similar inclination in my mind, too! need ref. Thanksss — elyar abad, May 31, 2020 at 7:43
As per the first comment, a synonym of singular is unique. I wouldn't personally say it's awkward phrasing, however. I see singular used in the sense of unique quite often. It is, however, less common than just using unique. — Jason Bassford, May 31, 2020 at 15:19
