This feature is included in the free version of Souschef.

AI Recipe Translation lets you turn any recipe in your library into another language — in seconds — without losing the original. Souschef uses an AI model built specifically for recipe translation, so cooking terms, ingredient names, and technique language stay accurate across languages. Souschef creates a linked translated recipe, keeps the source recipe untouched, and clearly marks the translated version so you always know where it came from. Perfect for cooking a family recipe in the language it was written in, or for sharing a favorite with someone who speaks a different language.

## Supported languages

Recipes can be translated between any of these languages:

* English
* Japanese
* Spanish
* French
* German
* Italian
* Korean
* Chinese
* Portuguese
* Dutch
* Swedish
* Danish
* Finnish
* Polish

## What translation does

When you translate a recipe, Souschef:

* **Creates a linked translated recipe** — a new recipe in your library with all text (title, ingredients, steps, notes) in the target language.
* **Preserves the original** — your original recipe stays exactly as you had it. Translation never overwrites the source.
* **Displays "Translated from…"** — the new recipe shows a clear label linking back to the original so you always know its origin.

## How to translate a recipe

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the recipe you want to translate">
    Tap the recipe in your library.
  </Step>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the translated recipe">
    Souschef creates a new, linked recipe in your library with the translated content. Tap **Save** to keep it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can translate the same recipe into multiple languages. Each translation is
  a separate linked recipe, so a Japanese and Spanish version of the same dish
  can live side by side in your library.
</Tip>

## Editing translated recipes

Translated recipes are fully editable just like any other recipe. If a phrase didn't land quite right or you want to swap in a more familiar cooking term, tap **Edit** and make it yours.
