DualDraft — two-column bilingual drafts for translators

What you get

The format is
the product.

Not plain translated text. A two-column .docx in the exact deliverable shape legal and technical work needs — the source paragraph beside its translation, on a fixed grid you can mark up in Word.

Outline markers (가. 제1조 第1条 ①) are preserved verbatim, so the columns line up 1:1.

Preview before you commit

“Preview 3” translates the first substantive paragraphs so you can check the pair and the tone before running the whole document.

Watch it build

A live canvas shows a progress ring, rolling ETA, and completed source/translation rows streaming in — never a frozen counter.

Review in Word

The two-column .bilingual.docx downloads when it finishes. Post-edit the translation column in Word, as usual.

Built for working translators

Quietly thorough
where it counts.

Four languages, twelve directions

Korean, English, Russian, and Japanese — translate between any pair. Source auto-detected from the document’s script.

Outline markers survive

Positional labels 가. 제1조 第1条 ① а) are stripped before translation and re-attached verbatim, so columns track 1:1.

PDF tables become grids

Table regions are detected from positional data and rebuilt as real grids on both sides, translated cell-by-cell.

Paragraphs, not fragments

PDF lines are reconstructed into whole paragraphs before translation, so wrapped sentences stay together.

Skeleton mode

Need only the layout? Generate the two-column shell with an empty translation column — a formatting template, fully offline.

Nothing to set up

No key, no account, no install. Documents are relayed to the engine and never stored or logged — nothing to sign up for, nothing to configure.

Engine

Built in. Keyless.

DeepL does the translating, with an automatic free fallback when its monthly quota runs out — so it never just stops. Nothing for you to configure.
