Use short and clear descriptions
When translating your restaurant’s menu, it’s essential to keep the descriptions short and clear. This will make it easier for your international customers to read and understand your dishes.
Remember to translate allergens and dietary preferences
Allergen and dietary preference information is critical when translating your restaurant’s menu. Make sure this information is prominently displayed in all your translations.
Review and proofread the translations
Before printing and using the translated menu in your restaurant, review and proofread the translations. Whenever possible, get a native speaker of the language to double-check their accuracy and consistency. At Aadimatiq we do that for you! We ensure our translation is consistent and makes sense to a native speaker of the language.
Menu design and format
An attractive, easy-to-read menu is pivotal for attracting international customers. When translating your restaurant’s menu, make sure its design and format are consistent across all versions.
In short, translating your restaurant’s menu effectively is essential to attract international customers and ensure they are happy.
