Does it fit your goals?
Passport
Menus in Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, French and more are read and translated on the spot. Then Scannibal writes a polite note in the local language that you can hold up to staff.

Keep a diet on certain days only, like vegetarian on Saturdays? Set the days and Scannibal follows them.
