@TM I now agree with you and have posted an agree to Kévin
AllegroTrans Jun 9, 2016:
@ TM I now agree with you (was confused initially, it's very hot here). Have posted an "agree" to Kévin's wording.
Tony M Jun 9, 2016:
@ A/T Ordinarily, in other contexts, I'd have agreed with your comment; however, do please note that specifically here it is preceded by the verb 'have made', and I can't see how the sentence can make sense unless we read the verb as 'have made... possible'; it would have to be really contrived to try and shoe-horn it into meaning that, whereas as it stands, it is perfectly good EN with no particular stylistic problems.
Kévin Bacquet Jun 9, 2016:
@AllegroTrans Pour moi, il n'y a pas de doute "possible" :)
Sylvie LE BRAS (asker) Jun 9, 2016:
doute aussi c'est pourquoi j'ai posé la question et traduit par "crédible"sous entendu potentiel
mais les réponses données suggèrent une autre lecture
Tony M Jun 9, 2016:
@ Asker Your curious parsing seems to betray a FR interpretation of the word order here? It looks as if you are assuming that 'possible' qualifies 'industry leader' (as it might in FR) — but of course in EN, the qualifier would not usually go to the end of the phrase like that, it would be 'possible industry leader'.
So you seem to have overlooked the fact that this is one of those pesky EN phrasal verbs 'to make possible' — or here, "...have made ... possible."
