一种新颖而复杂的信息访问形式是跨语言信息检索：基于母语查询搜索用外语编写的文本。虽然实现这种搜索的基础技术相对来说已经很好理解了，但是适当的界面设计还没有。本文介绍了三个用户的评价过程中进行的迭代设计的清晰度，低密度语言的跨语言检索系统，并显示了用户交互设计的发展取决于可用性测试的结果。第一个测试有助于确定功能和界面的弱点;第二个测试是为了确定是否应该显示查询翻译;最后一个测试是全球评估，重点是用户满意度标准。在这一过程的每一阶段都吸取了经验教训，从而对跨语文检索系统应向用户提供的内容有了更加知情的看法。
A novel and complex form of information access is cross-language information retrieval: searching for texts written in foreign languages based on native language queries. Although the underlying technology for achieving such a search is relatively well understood, the appropriate interface design is not. This paper presents three user evaluations undertaken during the iterative design of Clarity, a cross-language retrieval system for low density languages, and shows how the user interaction design evolved depending on the results of usability tests. The first test was instrumental to identify weaknesses in both functionalities and interface; the second was run to determine if query translation should be shown or not; the final was a global assessment and focussed on user satisfaction criteria. Lessons were learned at every stage of the process leading to a much more informed view of what a cross-language retrieval system should offer to users.
