That will test whether the library (rather than the agent) can load and parse
your MIB, yes.

You need to tell snmptranslate (or any other application) to load the MIB file
Try

    snmptranslate -m YOUR-MIB  1.3.6.1.4.50000.1.1.0

I'll make my usual plea that you don't simply pluck an enterprise number
out of thin air.   Either apply for one officially, or use the netSnmpPlayPen
area for testing.

You've actually chosen a number that hasn't already been allocated.
Though I'm not sure whether enterprise numbers aren't limited to
32,000-odd, so using 50000 may possibly cause problems.
(But I could be being unduly pessimistic there)
