What to Eat: Menu Translator

Point your camera at a menu you cannot read and find out what every dish actually is - translated into your language, with real photos.

What to Eat turns one photo of a foreign restaurant menu into something you can order from. The app finds the dish names on the menu and marks them right on your photo. Tap a marker and you get the name in your language plus real photos of that dish, so you know what is coming before it reaches your table.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Photograph the menu
Hold your phone over the menu and press Scan Menu. No typing, no login, no account.

2. Dishes are marked on your photo
Each dish name is pinned to the spot where it appears, so you never lose track of the line you are reading.

3. Tap a dish
Read the translation and look at real photos of the dish. An unfamiliar name becomes an actual meal.

TRANSLATE MENUS INTO 14 LANGUAGES
English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian and Portuguese. Choose your language once and the app remembers it.

MADE FOR REAL TRAVEL MOMENTS
- The handwritten board outside a tiny place in Tokyo
- A laminated menu in Bangkok with no English and no pictures
- A tapas list in Seville where every name sounds great and means nothing
- A ramen ticket machine, a Vietnamese street stall, a German Gasthaus
- And at home too: the neighbourhood restaurant whose menu is only in Chinese

WHY TRAVELERS KEEP IT ON THE HOME SCREEN
- Order what you actually want instead of pointing at a random line

- Try the dish you would never have picked, because now you can read its name
- Every menu you scan stays in your history, so you can find that dish again after the trip
