Abstract
Abstract Over the past thirty years, crime fiction, children’s literature, comics and, to a lesser extent, romance novels have received growing attention from translation scholars. Drawing on an analysis of this translation studies literature and interviews conducted with translators working in different publishing sectors, this paper revisits the hypothesis of Clem Robyns (1990) , who proposed that non-canonical literary translations are the belles infidèles of the twentieth century. In a spirit reflecting the evolution of the discipline, the author examines not only the textual norms, but also the translators’ viewpoint and their role in the publishing process. The questions at the heart of this reflection are the following: to what extent does adaptation – to use a less value-laden term than belle infidèle – (still) constitute the translation norm of non-canonical literatures? How do the actors participating in the translation of these literatures and their involvement in the publishing process differ from those governing the translation of institutional literature? Finally, what can the study of these literatures teach us about translation and some of the key notions and oppositions in contemporary translation theories?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
