Döner
→ Döner (not "rotating meat")
Turkish cultural reference — stays Döner even in English.
Multilingual QR Menu · 37 Languages · AI Translation
Multilingual QR menu — 37 languages from one menu.
Enter your menu once — the system translates into 37 languages via AI. Restaurant terminology is preserved: "Döner" never becomes "Chicken Slice" in any language. RTL for Arabic and Persian. In tourist areas, multilingual menus are no longer luxury — they're baseline.
DEFINITION
What is a multilingual QR menu?
A multilingual QR menu is a digital menu system that serves multiple languages behind a single QR code. Guests see the menu in their language based on their phone's language setting or via an in-menu language switcher. In QrMenum's multilingual QR menu, AI translation to 37 supported languages is included in the standard package; Arabic and Persian have full RTL (right-to-left) support. Restaurant terminology is preserved with cultural integrity — words like "Döner", "Rakı", "Baklava" keep their original spelling across all languages.

COMPARISON
AI translation vs manual translator vs Google Translate
Three ways to translate the same Turkish menu into 37 languages — 6 criteria, 3 approaches.
| Criterion | Manual translator | Google Translate | QrMenum AI Translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminology preservation | Depends on translator | None — "Döner" → "Rotating" | Restaurant glossary trained |
| Brand voice | Variable | Robotic | Consistent across 37 languages |
| Cost (37 languages) | ₺25,000+ one-time | Free but low quality | Included (with AI add-on) |
| Update (new item) | Re-order from translator | Manual copy-paste | Automatic — 30 seconds, 37 languages |
| RTL support (Arabic) | Manual | Translates text, breaks layout | Automatic RTL + fonts |
| Editor review | Trust the translator | None | In-panel diff + approval |
TERMINOLOGY
Why is restaurant terminology preserved?
Your menu's soul lives in the right spelling of certain words. Our AI translation knows this.
Rakı
→ Rakı (not "aniseed drink")
Geographically indicated product — kept in original spelling.
İskender
→ İskender (not "Alexander kebab")
Place + person name — Bursa heritage, not translated.
Ayran
→ Ayran (not "yogurt drink")
Signature Turkish drink — globally recognized as Ayran.
Baklava
→ Baklava (not "layered pastry")
GI protected — Antep Baklavası PDO.
Meze
→ Meze (not "appetizer plate")
A cultural experience, not reducible to ordinary "appetizer".
Lahmacun
→ Lahmacun (not "Turkish pizza")
The "Turkish pizza" translation is popular but wrong — Lahmacun is its own identity.
Kokoreç
→ Kokoreç (not "sheep intestine")
Street food — literal translation kills appetite; the original name sparks curiosity.
RTL
Arabic and Persian — RTL support
A full architecture for right-to-left scripts — not just text, but layout.

Cappadocia · Istanbul (Sultanahmet)
Heavy Japanese, Chinese, Korean traffic. Far East languages + Arabic (Gulf tourists) critical. Photo + translation together are powerful.
Hotel — multi-outlet
Lobby bar, pool bar, room service — separate menus. All 37 languages active per outlet. Aura AI concierge multilingual.
Conference + congress catering
International attendees — fast language switching. One QR code, language chosen by the guest.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a multilingual QR menu?
A multilingual QR menu is a digital menu system serving multiple languages behind a single QR code. Guests see the menu in their preferred language via their phone settings or an in-menu language switcher. QrMenum standard AI translation covers 37 languages; Arabic and Persian have full RTL support.
How many languages can my menu have?
37 languages actively supported. All can be enabled simultaneously; toggle by tourist volume from the panel. Languages include: Turkish, English, German, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Kurdish, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Swahili.
Is AI translation professional enough? How is it different from Google Translate?
Restaurant terminology is trained. "Döner" stays DÖNER, "İskender" stays İSKENDER, "Ayran" stays AYRAN — cultural reference preserved. Google Translate turns "Döner" into "Rotating meat". Consistent brand voice across 37 languages, full RTL Arabic, in-panel translator review flow. Engine: best-in-class AI translation infrastructure trained on restaurant language.
How does the Arabic menu look — is RTL supported?
Full RTL support. Selecting Arabic or Persian flows the entire UI right-to-left; the font auto-switches to Noto Naskh Arabic; price symbols align right; arrow icons mirror. Arabic-Indic numerals (١٢٣) optional. Critical for hotels and restaurants hosting Gulf tourists.
How many languages should a tourist-area menu have?
Minimum: TR + EN + DE + RU (Antalya/Bodrum). Ideal additions: AR (Arab tourists), ZH (Chinese), JA (Japanese), FR (French), ES (Spanish). Cappadocia special: JA + KO + ZH priority. QrMenum analytics show which language is read — data-driven language prioritization. Standard package already includes 37 languages; the decision is only at "which languages to display" level.
Is menu translation automatic or manual?
Both. AI auto-translates to 37 languages (from Turkish source); you review in the panel, accept or request "re-translate". For critical items, manual override — the text you type in that language overrides AI. Subsequent translations learn from your override (terminology glossary grows).
How does a multilingual menu help SEO?
The QR menu page is indexable by search engines (optional). With multiple languages, each gets its own hreflang tag; when a guest searches "menu antalya restaurant" on Google, they land on the German version; "меню отель" hits the Russian result. Monthly 100-500 direct search traffic typical in tourist areas.
How does a multilingual QR menu work in a chain?
Central menu + outlet override. HQ approves the main 37-language menu; the outlet toggles languages + price overrides for its own venue. Bodrum outlet keeps RU on, Bursa may keep it off. Multi-outlet dashboard shows how much each language is read per outlet.
Is menu terminology preserved in translation?
Yes — restaurant glossary trained. Examples: Döner → Döner, İskender → İskender, Ayran → Ayran, Baklava → Baklava, Rakı → Rakı, Meze → Meze, Lahmacun → Lahmacun (not "Turkish pizza"!), Kokoreç → Kokoreç. These stay in original spelling in every language, because losing cultural reference kills sales + hurts recognition.
How much does a multilingual QR menu cost?
37-language translation is included in the standard package with the AI add-on. No per-language fee, no human translator cost. Manual alternative: ~₺25,000-40,000 one-time; repeat per menu update. AI removes this barrier. Price: Essentials ₺5,000 + AI ₺8,000 = ₺13,000/yr (+ VAT).
