Menu translation

Your menu in English, German and Chinese. Written once.

Write your menu once, in Italian. Menoo translates it automatically into up to 10 languages and every guest reads it in their own, straight from the QR code on the table.

Available on: Base plan (3 languages) and Pro (10 languages + custom glossary)

How it works

How it works

  1. Switch on your languages

    Choose from English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese and Dutch.

  2. Let Menoo do the work

    Every new or edited dish is translated automatically into all your active languages.

  3. Fine-tune if you like

    Correct a translation and mark it as verified: no automatic update will ever touch it again.

Why plain machine translation is not enough

Generic translators mangle traditional dishes: “pici” turns into a meaningless word, “stinco” into an anatomy lesson. That is why Menoo shields proper names before translating and puts them back afterwards, untouched.

  • Menoo glossary of Italian culinary terms, always left in the original (Base and Pro plans)
  • Your own custom glossary for regional names and house specialities (Pro plan)
  • Manual corrections to a single dish stay locked

The guest chooses the language, not the waiter

Visitors scan the QR code and see the translated menu straight away, with descriptions and allergens in their language. No separate laminated English menus to keep up to date, no translating out loud at the table.

The fixed interface labels and the names of the 14 allergens are translated by hand, not by AI: they are sensitive and must be exact.

Which languages are available

Italian plus English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese and Dutch. The Base plan includes 3 languages in total (Italian included); the Pro plan includes all 10.

FAQ

Questions about menu translation

Answers to the most common questions about this feature.

Do translations cost extra?

No, they are included in the Base and Pro subscriptions. There are no per-character or per-language charges.

Can I correct a translation?

Yes. Edit the text in the dashboard and mark it as verified: from then on, automatic translation will never overwrite it.

Can I add my own dish names to the glossary?

Yes, on the Pro plan: add your venue's terms and choose whether to keep them in the original or set your own translation. Terms in the Menoo glossary are always left untranslated, from the Base plan up.

How do guests change the language?

With the language selector on the public menu: one tap and dishes, descriptions and allergens switch to the chosen language.
