Does the word child in a will also include grand sons and grand daugther, like the word issue in section 99 of the Indian succession act?

when a person writes awill, e has nothing to do with legal interpretations since he want to bequeath his proerty to someone else, so while interpreting the same we must take into account the real intention of the testator.
