"The Amateur Poet," the title is translated into (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dilettante

'the amateur' is the definition.
(dilettante is a kind of amateur)

'poet the title is translated into' is the wordplay.
'poet' becomes 'dante' (13th- and 14th-century Italian poet).
'is translated' is an anagram indicator.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'title' with letters rearranged gives 'ilett'.
'dante' enclosing 'ilett' is 'DILETTANTE'.

(Other definitions for dilettante that I've seen before include "Superficial dabbler in the arts - title at end (anag)" , "Arty type" , "One with superficial knowledge" , "Aesthete" , "Amateurish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
