Our team

Who we are

Dickens Translations is a two-person translations team, an Italian and an English native speaker, that specialises in providing high quality translations between English and Italian.

Our aim is to provide the highest possible quality translation and language services. To fulfil this aim we collaborate, discuss, exchange ideas and edit each other’s work… two translators for the price of one! We also don’t just take any project, we only take on those to which we are best suited.

David’s fields of expertise include business, government, science, sports, travel, training and military.

In addition to being a translator and teacher, David is also the author of three didactic English books: “Right or Wrong”, “Right or Wrong at Work” and ““Inglese da leggere da ridere da imparare” published by Gribaudo.
