Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VI, § 2. Affine Weyl group

The assumption that T is of rank l is satisfied in particular when G is irreducible and infinite. Indeed, the vector space generated by vectors corresponding to the translations in T is invariant under the canonical image of G in the linear group of F. It is different from {0}\{0\} if G is infinite and is thus equal to the whole of F if G is infinite and irreducible.

A finite group generated by reflections is not always the Weyl group of a root system. More precisely:

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
