Le Menu Dit 1.0 for iOS - Translates English menus to French 

Creekcats LLC today announces Le Menu Dit 1.0, their English to French menu translator for iOS devices. Le Menu Dit (French for "the menu says") presents each line of the original menu with the translation immediately below it, so French-speaking travelers can easily order while traveling in the United Kingdom, the United States and other English-speaking countries. Users simply take a photo of the menu, crop as needed, and tap "Translate." No Internet connection is required.

Unlike most other translation apps for iOS device, Le Menu Dit doesn't try to be an all-purpose translation tool. Instead, it concentrates on being excellent at one thing, quickly translating menus from English to French and presenting the translation in a way that makes it easy for users to point to what they want to order. There are no complicated procedures to learn, or confusing icons that must be hit in the proper order. Menu translation is merely a matter of point, shoot, crop, and wait a moment for the translation.

 

Features:

* Translates English menus to French, using a photo of the menu

* Includes over 37,000 menu-related words and phrases

* Translated words are displayed in a bold font, perfect for travelers 55 and older

* Each line of the menu is shown with its translation immediately below, so it's easy to match each item to its translation.

* Results are saved, so users can easily go back and forth through pages of a menu

* Includes a built-in flashlight function for use in low-light conditions

* Share translation results via email or Facebook with an available Internet connection

 

Visits from France to the United Kingdom and the United States in 2013 tallied over 5.3 million, and most of those visitors do not speak fluent English. Those visits were of approximately one week's duration, making an app like Le Menu Dit a must-have app for any French traveler's iPhone or iPad.
