Do your drawings need to be in another language to meet the rules where they go?

Same drawing, new language.

No going back to the source files, no editing a PDF note by note. Juste writes the translation in the same place, size and font, and checks every number, unit and standard.

Juste: French for exact, right or fair, as in le mot juste.

The problem

Translated drawings, without retyping them.

Work in Quebec often needs drawings and data sheets in French, and other markets ask for their own language. Today that means going back to the source files, or a translator's quote and then editing the PDF note by note. Juste does it on your own computer: French for Quebec first, and also French for France, Spanish and English, in any direction.

How it works

Drop the PDFs, get the translated drawings.

  1. 1

    Drop the drawings

    One PDF or several. Choose the language, such as French (Quebec), and press Translate.

  2. 2

    Translated with your terms

    Your glossary and your never-translate words are used. Lines you approved before are reused.

  3. 3

    Rebuilt in its own font

    The translation goes on the same lines, in the drawing's own font. Everything else stays exactly where it was.

  4. 4

    Checked, then yours

    Review the few lines it marks, correct one if you wish, and download the PDF with its verification report. A correction is remembered for next time.

The Juste dashboard: a box to drop drawing PDFs, the From and To languages, and today's drawings, each marked passed or with lines to review.
The Juste dashboard. Drop the drawings, choose the language, and see which passed and which have lines to review. The drawing names are invented.
What is checked

Every drawing is checked before you get it.

Each drawing comes with a verification report an engineer can keep with the file.

  • Numbers and units

    Every number and unit is carried over unchanged. In Quebec French, the Quebec unit symbols are used (po, pi, lb). Values are never converted.

  • Standards

    Standard designations, such as ASTM A123, are copied exactly.

  • Read again

    The translation is read back from the finished drawing. Nothing is left untranslated, and nothing outside the text has moved.

  • Your terms

    Your customer terms and never-translate words are checked too, as a warning.

  • Scans too

    Scanned pages are read as well, and always marked as best effort.

  • NOT FOR ISSUE

    A drawing that fails a check is stamped NOT FOR ISSUE. It is never passed on silently.

On your computer

The drawing stays with you.

Juste is installed on your own Windows computer. Only the text of the drawing is sent, encrypted, to our trusted AI provider for translation, and comes back. Files and images are never sent, and we keep no drawing text.

  • Everything included

    One installer. No API key, no AI account, nothing else to set up.

  • Two computers

    A licence works on up to two computers. An internet connection is needed to translate.

  • Monthly plans

    By the number of drawings, translation included. A free trial on your own computer.

Bill 96

Quebec's French rules, in plain words.

Quebec's Charter of the French language, strengthened by Bill 96, asks businesses to provide many documents in French, and that can include drawings and data sheets. What applies to you depends on your work and your customer. The Office québécois de la langue française explains the rules on oqlf.gouv.qc.ca. This is not legal advice: Juste gives you the French and a report, and the engineer stays responsible for the drawing.
