When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods?

Comparative advantage is an economic law referring to the ability of any given economic actor to produce goods and services at a lower opportunity cost than other economic actors.

Thus, when a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.
