Your menu, in your guests’ language
The translated page keeps your sections, the order of your dishes, your colors and your style of lettering, so regulars and tourists are reading the same menu. Dish names are written the plain way restaurants name them for visitors, and the shop name stays as you wrote it.

Each price is told to stay exactly as printed, with the same currency sign, beside its own dish, and nothing may be added or dropped. In the tests behind this page, a 20 dish handwritten board pinned to a wall came out with every dish and price in place. Still, read it once before printing.

Frequently asked questions
How can I translate my restaurant menu into English?
Take a clear photo of your menu, upload it here and pick English. The AI rebuilds the same menu as a flat print file with the dish names and headings in English and your prices unchanged. There is nothing to type and no prompt to write.
Is the AI menu translator free?
New accounts get 10 to 30 free credits depending on country, no card needed. One translated menu page costs 5 credits, so the free credits cover at least 2 pages. After that, credits come with a subscription plan; the cheapest, Starter, is $9 a month. You can also pay once with no subscription: $0.99 for one image or $1.99 for three, and those credits stay valid for 12 months. Downloads on the free plan carry a small Vidney watermark; paid plans download clean.
Will my prices and dishes stay the same?
The AI is told to keep every price digit for digit with the same currency sign, keep the order of your dishes, and never add or remove a dish. In our tests no price was ever changed. What did go wrong: one menu design, a mint green drink menu, came back mostly untranslated with smudged letters in all four tries, while the other menus came out right. If yours comes back like that, do not print it; try a flat, plain photo. Each try uses credits.
Do I need to check the translation and allergens before printing?
Yes. AI can still pick the wrong word for a local dish, and it only translates what is written, so it never adds ingredients or allergen warnings. Have someone who reads the language look it over, and add allergen information yourself if your guests need it.
Which languages can I translate my menu into?
English, Simplified Chinese for guests from mainland China, Traditional Chinese for guests from Taiwan and Hong Kong, Korean and Japanese. The menu you upload can be in another language; the examples on this page started in Japanese, Spanish and Traditional Chinese.
Can I print the translated menu, and how big?
Yes. Each page comes out as a flat 3:4 image of about 1792 × 2400 pixels: sharp on a tablet or phone and fine for A5 table cards, acceptable up to A4. One photo gives one page, so photograph a longer menu page by page.
