Summary/Abstract: Today it would seem appropriate to talk about ethics in the plural, taking into account all the actors involved in the process – translator, publisher, author and audience. In the same spirit, the profession needs to be looked upon from the perspective of the market. This study proposes an outline of the Romanian ethics in translation giving two recent yet opposite examples: a philosophical text and a crime novel. In terms of method, the author focuses on translatology accompanied by sociological remarks on translation in order to depict the state of play between the various ethics involved, from the decision to publish a translation down to the sale figures.
