Create a multilingual restaurant menu

Choose the languages your customers need

LFMenu offers five languages: French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. In the restaurant details, select the language of your original text and enable additional languages. Start with one language you can have checked rather than publishing several rough versions.

Translate names and descriptions

The section and dish forms include translation fields for the languages you have enabled. Translate every name and every description you have filled in. You can keep a name such as tiramisu unchanged by entering it explicitly. The restaurant name and introduction, menu names and introductions, price notes and variant labels remain in their original wording.

Understand what appears when a translation is missing

When a translation is missing, LFMenu displays the text in the original language. The menu remains usable while you work, but customers may see a mixture of two languages. For example, a dish translated into English whose description is still blank keeps its French description. Browse every section in every language to spot these omissions.

Example menus

Have translations checked before service

Ask someone fluent in the language to check the ingredients described, cooking methods and portion sizes. Compare prices with the original menu too. Do not assume a translated dish name makes it suitable for someone with an allergy: keep your allergen information available and answer customers' questions.

One QR code, several languages and menus

The QR code still belongs to the restaurant. Customers choose their language on the public menu, and other menus, such as lunch and wine, remain available. Incomplete versions work by displaying the original text where needed, but are not offered for indexing. A complete translation does not guarantee a place in search results.
