Menu Translation Services

In Dubai’s vibrant and multicultural hospitality scene, accurate menu translation plays a crucial role in customer experience, brand reputation, and food safety. Since 1996, Communication Legal Translation Est. (CLT) has been providing professional Menu Translation Services in Dubai and across the UAE, supporting restaurants, cafés, hotels, resorts, food chains, catering companies, and hospitality groups.

Menus are not just lists of dishes—they communicate ingredients, preparation methods, cultural identity, and brand personality. Poor translation can confuse customers, misrepresent dishes, or even cause allergen-related issues. CLT ensures menu translations are clear, culturally adapted, and customer-friendly, helping businesses serve international audiences with confidence.

Inaccurate menu translation can lead to:
