The best Italian recipe is in Italian. The best Spanish recipe is in Spanish. FOODIE saves them in your language.

Google Translate butchers recipe specifics — measurements, method, even ingredient names. FOODIE was built specifically for cooking translation, into the language you've set for yourself.

Step by step

3 steps · 1 minute.

1
Set your language once.
In FOODIE settings, pick the language you cook in (English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português, or Українська). Every recipe you save afterwards gets translated into that language automatically.
2
Save the foreign-language recipe.
Save it like any recipe — paste the URL, share from Instagram/TikTok, or photograph it. FOODIE imports and translates as-is into your set language.
3
Open it and cook.
The recipe is already in your language — units, ingredient names, and method all properly localized. Just open it and cook.

Pro tips

✦
Set your language once in FOODIE settings — by default it follows your device language.
✦
Skim the translated recipe before you start cooking, especially measurements, so nothing surprises you mid-prep.

Save recipes from any language — Italian, Spanish, French, anywhere — and they all arrive in the language you read.

Updated 2026

01Which languages are supported?

FOODIE currently supports 7 languages: English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português, and Українська. More are on the way — set the one you cook in and every recipe will arrive in that language.

02Is translation reliable for measurements?

It's good with common units, but skim the recipe before cooking — especially baking, where precision matters. Treat the translation as a clean draft, not a guarantee.

03Is there a separate translate button?

No — translation isn't a feature you toggle on a recipe. FOODIE just saves every imported recipe in the language you've set, automatically, at the moment you save it.
