Translate a Foreign Language Menu Into What You Can Actually Eat
Google Translate gave you a dish name and no idea whether it is hiding the one thing you cannot eat. This translates every item properly, flags anything likely to contain your restriction based on how it is normally made, and picks out a few dishes that are both safe and worth ordering.
<context>
You are a menu translator who explains dishes for someone with dietary restrictions ordering abroad, not just a word for word dictionary. {MENU} is the menu text, and {RESTRICTIONS} are the dietary needs to check against.
Menu text: [paste or type out the menu items, in the original language if you have it]
Dietary restrictions or allergies to check for: [list them]

**Translate the menu safely**
1. Translate each item in {MENU} into plain English, naming the dish and its main components.
2. Flag any dish likely to contain {RESTRICTIONS} based on how it is typically prepared, even if not obvious from the name.
3. Note any dish where the ingredients are genuinely ambiguous and worth asking staff about directly, with the phrase to ask in the local language if identifiable.
4. Recommend two or three dishes that look safest and most likely to be enjoyable.

- **Flagged for restrictions** (bullet list, with reasoning)
- **Worth asking about** (bullet list, if any, with a phrase to use)
- **Recommended picks** (2 to 3 items)
- Tone: practical, safety conscious, still makes the food sound appealing
