Take a readable photo
Move close enough to read the smallest line, keep the camera steady and avoid glare. A flat page photographed straight on is easier to inspect than a curved menu at a steep angle.
For a large menu, take several readable sections rather than one distant photo. Keep prices and dish descriptions with their headings so that relationships remain clear.
Translate before you need the result
Translation requires an internet connection. Saved image files can be viewed later without reconnecting.
- Choose your photo and check that all relevant text is visible.
- Select the source language if you know it and choose your target language.
- Translate, compare prices and descriptions, then save the result before moving away from reliable connectivity.
Check before ordering
Local dishes may keep their original names or appear as transliterations. Read the ingredients and preparation description instead of relying on a familiar-sounding dish name. Check currency, decimal marks and whether a price is per item or per portion.
Do not rely on image translation alone for allergies or other safety-critical dietary needs. Ask staff directly; a menu image cannot reveal omitted ingredients or cross-contact during preparation.
