Questions restaurant owners ask
Should my restaurant offer a translated menu?
If you serve tourist traffic or a multilingual neighborhood, yes — guests order more confidently (and often more) when they know what they’re getting. It’s also simple hospitality.
How are dish names handled?
Proper nouns and culturally specific dishes (say, “mandi” or “cacio e pepe”) are kept as-is with a short translated gloss in parentheses, so the menu stays authentic and understandable.
Is machine translation good enough for a printed menu?
It’s a strong first draft — structure-aware and context-sensitive. Before printing, have a native speaker skim it; that ten-minute check catches the rare idiom slip.
Can I translate my whole menu at once?
Up to about 2,500 characters per run to keep the tool free for everyone. Most menus fit in two or three passes — translate section by section.
