In the classical theory of approximation of functions
on $\mathbb{R}^+$, the modulus of smoothness are basically built by
means of the translation operators $f \to f(x+y)$. As the notion of
translation operators was extended to various contexts (see [2]
and [3]), many generalized modulus of smoothness have been
discovered. Such generalized modulus of smoothness are often more
convenient than the usual ones for the study of the connection
between the smoothness properties of a function and the best
approximations of this function in weight functional spaces (see [4]
and [5]). In [1], Abilov et al. proved two useful estimates for the
Fourier transform in the space of square integrable functions on
certain classes of functions characterized by the generalized
continuity modulus, using a translation operator. In this paper, we
also discuss this subject. More specifically, we prove some estimates
(similar to those proved in [1]) in certain classes of functions characterized
by a generalized continuity modulus and connected with the generalized
Fourier transform associated with the differential-difference operator
$T^{(\alpha,\beta)}$ in $L^{2}_{\alpha,\beta}(\mathbb{R})$.
For this purpose, we use a generalized translation operator.
