Menu translations

What is translated

Menu translations cover section headings, food item names, and item descriptions. Brand and drink names, brewery metadata, prices, serving sizes, and ABV remain unchanged. Guest web, QR, and embedded menus show a language picker; TV and print retain the original wording.

Create and review

1. Publish current base-menu changes first.
2. Choose Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, or English.
3. Request missing or changed fields. The quote is 50 credits per started 5,000 changed source characters per language.
4. Review ingredients, meaning, names, and blank ambiguous results, then save the translation draft.

Publish a language

Publish this language makes reviewed wording available to guests. Unpublish this language removes that option without deleting the draft. Neither action publishes source-menu edits.

Handle source changes

Changed source wording becomes outdated and falls back to the original text until translated and reviewed again. Price and availability edits do not invalidate wording. Existing reviewed fields remain intact when a later request fills other gaps.

Failed AI jobs return their reserved credits. Repeating the same request ID reuses its saved result rather than creating a second charge.

Limits and boundaries

Each request covers up to 100 fields and 20,000 source characters. TV and print keep original wording; prices, sizes, ABV, and brand names are preserved.

If something goes wrong

Changed source wording falls back to the original until reviewed again. Reload saved translations before retrying stale work.
