The self-order kiosk menu screen with category tabs and dish photos with prices, which shows the menu in the guest's chosen language

What you get

  • Four languages

    Add a name and a description for each dish in English, Arabic, Spanish and French.

  • Every part of the menu

    Categories, dishes, option groups, options and ingredients all take translations, and so do meal deals.

  • The kiosk follows the guest

    Guests pick their language on the kiosk welcome screen and the menu changes with it.

  • Orders in their language

    Order emails and order history carry the translated names too.

  • Translate in stages

    A dish without a translation shows its original text, so you can start with your best sellers.

What it does

A menu in more than one language helps you serve guests who read Arabic, Spanish or French as comfortably as English. DineHarbor stores a name and a description per language on each part of your menu, and shows the right text to each guest.

How it works

  1. In the Manager, open a category, a dish, an option group, an option or an ingredient.
  2. Add a translation for each language you serve: a name and, if you want, a description.
  3. Save. The translated text is stored alongside the original, which stays as the default.
  4. On the kiosk a guest chooses a language on the welcome screen, and the menu follows.
  5. The translated names also appear in order emails and in a guest's order history.

What you control

Translations are text you write. The product offers four languages, the same four as the apps themselves. A dish without a translation in a language shows its original text, so you can translate your best sellers first and add the rest over time.

Plan for quality

Names and descriptions in food are easy to get wrong, and allergens matter more than style. If you are not sure of a translation, ask a native speaker or a colleague to check it before you save. Allergen information is held separately on ingredients and is not changed by translation.

Arabic, Spanish and French

The four languages are the same ones the DineHarbor apps are written in, so a guest who chooses Arabic, Spanish or French on the kiosk reads the interface and your menu in that language.

What it replaces

It replaces a second menu document in another language that falls out of date, and a staff member explaining the menu to each table. Use it with voice ordering, where the assistant speaks the guest's language.

Questions and answers

Which languages are supported?

English, Arabic, Spanish and French.

Do I have to translate everything?

No. Fill in what you need. A language without a translation falls back to the original text.

Does the AI translate for me?

There is no automatic menu translation in the product. You write the translations, or paste ones you have had checked.

Do prices change per language?

No. Only the name and description are translated.
