iMango
Fast translation drafts, reviewed by the restaurant.
iMango treats translation as an assisted workflow: fast enough to remove blank language fields, careful enough to keep restaurant owners in charge of the words guests see.
Non-destructive
Manual edits stay in place
iMango fills empty visible language fields and preserves existing translations.
Tourist-ready
Thai, English, Russian, and Chinese
Restaurants can enable the languages that fit their guests and local market.
Translation scope
Translate the fields guests actually read.
Menu translation in iMango is designed for practical restaurant fields. Owners can translate menu names, category names, item names, item descriptions, option-group names, and option-row labels.
- The source text comes from the active language tab.
- The Translate action targets missing enabled-language fields.
- Safety tag labels are product-localized and are not sent through the translation endpoint.
Human review
Use AI speed without giving up editorial control.
The translation helper is intentionally non-destructive. It helps fill missing text, while restaurant owners keep control over culinary terms, allergens, dietary wording, and final guest-facing phrasing.
- Existing non-empty translations are preserved.
- Detected source-language mismatch is shown as a soft notice, not a blocker.
- AI output should be reviewed before relying on it for sensitive food information.
International guests
Make the menu clearer before the guest asks for help.
For restaurants serving international guests, translated menus make the scan experience more useful. Guests can switch public menu language when that language is enabled for the restaurant.
- English can help tourists understand dish names and ingredients.
- Russian and Chinese support can help restaurants in tourist-heavy areas.
- Item numbers give guests and staff a fallback when spoken language is difficult.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does iMango translate automatically when I type or save?+

Which languages can restaurant menus support?+
The current supported content languages are Thai, English, Russian, and Chinese. Restaurants choose which languages are enabled for their public menu.
Should AI translations be reviewed?+
Yes. AI helps create first drafts, but restaurants should review dish names, local terms, allergen wording, and dietary claims before guests see them.
