Since 1992 (Snell-Hornby et al. 1994) the Translation Studies * (EdT) have claimed the status of "interdiscipline". In fact, there are still doubts about his academic status which is recent in relation to the profession. Since Holmes 1988 [1972], the development of the EdT was, several times, considered a success story; Although it is not clear whether the academic results (arguments and peculiar components linked to their prestige, such as books, societies, recognized scholars, congresses) were more decisive than the translation market in the progressive recognition of WTS.
