Dish names in a second language

Add a second name
Step 1: Open the dish
Press the pencil on the dish in Menu. Under Item Name, press Add secondary name.

Enter it in Secondary Name (optional). The hint reads "Shown on a second line below the item name."
Step 3: Save
Press Save Changes. The second name now shows under the dish.
| Customer's menu language | What they see |
|---|---|
| The language your second name is written in | Your second name becomes the main name and the original name moves to the line below. Menuthere leaves your spelling alone instead of translating it. This works for Arabic and for languages with their own alphabet, such as Malayalam, Hindi or Tamil, but not for Spanish. |
| Any other language | The main name, with your second name on the line below it in the layouts that show it. |
Good to knowNot every menu layout shows the second line. The second name also appears on the customer's cart and order. To let customers switch the whole menu into another language, turn on Offer other languages in Settings → Store details → Currency & Language, from Lite. See Menu in several languages for customers.
Questions
Can I add more than one extra language?
No. A dish has one secondary name. It takes the place of the translation when a customer picks the language it is written in.
Does my second name get translated?
No. It is shown exactly as you typed it.
Is this the same as the language button?
No. The language button translates your menu automatically and is a Lite feature. The second name is a name you write yourself, on every plan.
