The translational hull is of central importance in the construction of ideal extensions and the study of densely embedded ideals particularly for weakly reductive semigroups (see [4, Chapter III]). The translational hull of semigroups belonging to a few special classes is known in an explicit form, and for some other classes of semigroups, certain properties of their translational hulls have been established (see [4, Chapter V]). We have generalized in [5] the concept of an inverse limit of groups in order to give a construction of the translational hull of a semigroup which is a semilattice of groups.
