meaning" to "sign language vision" and then to "graphic symbol". Visual translation of sign language should enhance the efficiency of visual communication in both application and artistry. From the perspective of morphological translation, the "literal translation diagram" suitable for recognition and communication is divided. From the perspective of semantic translation, the "free translation diagram" suitable for reading comprehension is divided. At present, the literal translation diagram of sign language needs to be improved, while the relevant free translation diagram is seriously ignored. The graphic design of sign language visual translation should take into account the whole process of information encoding and decoding. Its innovative design should strengthen the exploration of diversity, accuracy, functionality, artistry, humanity and interest.
