Multilingual menu for restaurants
Organise translated menu versions so international customers visiting your restaurant can understand sections and dishes more easily.
What is a multilingual menu for restaurants?
It is an online menu where the restaurant can publish translated versions of its content alongside the original language. Once a language version is complete and available, international customers can select it on the public page and read the restaurant’s offering in their chosen language.
Which parts of the menu can be translated?
Section names
You can translate the headings used to organise courses and the different parts of the menu.
Dish names
Each dish can have a translated name associated with the selected language.
Dish descriptions
The restaurant can also provide a translated version of each description.
How a menu in several languages works
- The restaurant creates sections and dishes in the menu’s original language.
- It adds translations for section names, dish names and descriptions.
- It publishes the menu with the completed language versions.
- Customers select an available language and view the corresponding translated content.
Multilingual menus and QR codes
The QR code opens the menu’s public page. If several language versions are available, the page displays the relevant selectors so customers can choose one. The code remains linked to the same menu: language selection happens on the page and does not require a different QR code.
Helpful information for international customers
Reading a dish name and description in a familiar language helps customers understand the ingredients, preparation and characteristics provided by the restaurant. Translation makes the offering easier to view without changing the way the restaurant structures its menu.
Translations and dish information
Translations apply to dish names and descriptions and sit alongside the other available details. The price remains linked to the dish, while allergen information also continues to appear beside the content in the selected language version.
