Studying variation among time-evolved translations is a valuable research area for cultural heritage. Understanding how and why translations vary reveals cultural, ideological, and even political influences on literature as well as author relations. In this article, we introduce a novel integrated visual application to support distant and close reading of a collection of Othello translations. We present a new interactive application that provides an alignment overview of all the translations and their correspondences in parallel with smooth zooming and panning capability to integrate distant and close reading within the same view. We provide a range of filtering and selection options to customize the alignment overview as well as focus on specific subsets. Selection and filtering are responsive to expert user preferences and update the analytical text metrics interactively. Also, we introduce a customized view for close reading which preserves the history of selections and the alignment overview state and enables backtracing and re-examining them. Finally, we present a new Term-Level Comparisons view (TLC) to compare and convey relative term weighting in the context of an alignment. Our visual design is guided by, used and evaluated by a domain expert specialist in German translations of Shakespeare.

TransVis：奥赛罗翻译的综合远距离和近距离阅读

研究随时间演变的翻译之间的差异是文化遗产的一个有价值的研究领域。了解翻译的变化方式和原因可以揭示文化、意识形态甚至政治对文学和作者关系的影响。在本文中，我们介绍了一种新颖的集成视觉应用程序，以支持远距离和近距离阅读黑白棋翻译集。我们提出了一个新的交互式应用程序，它提供了所有翻译及其对应关系的对齐概览，同时具有平滑的缩放和平移功能，以在同一视图中集成远距离和近距离阅读。我们提供了一系列过滤和选择选项来自定义对齐概述以及关注特定子集。选择和过滤响应专家用户的偏好并以交互方式更新分析文本度量。此外，我们引入了一个用于仔细阅读的自定义视图，它保留了选择的历史和对齐概览状态，并允许回溯和重新检查它们。最后，我们提出了一个新的术语级别比较视图 (TLC)，用于在对齐的上下文中比较和传达相对术语权重。我们的视觉设计由莎士比亚德文翻译领域专家指导、使用和评估。我们提出了一个新的术语级别比较视图 (TLC)，用于在对齐的上下文中比较和传达相对术语权重。我们的视觉设计由莎士比亚德文翻译领域专家指导、使用和评估。我们提出了一个新的术语级别比较视图 (TLC)，用于在对齐的上下文中比较和传达相对术语权重。我们的视觉设计由莎士比亚德文翻译领域专家指导、使用和评估。
