Abstract

Over the past fifteen years, digital tools for parallelizing and aligning textual corpora have developed significantly within the field of digital humanities. Several projects and software tools have been created to compare different translations or versions of texts. Despite these technical advances, many parallel corpora produced in academic contexts quickly become inaccessible online due to the lack of maintenance or funding. To address this gap, we present a suite of open-source tools developed within the ACR Grimm Tradalign and ParaTaxe projects. This suite includes the AIlign aligner, based on multilingual embeddings, a Python processing pipeline for converting and aligning corpora, a web interface called ParaTaxe for managing collections of parallel corpora, and a web interface for exploring aligned corpora built with TEI-Publisher.
