Do I need two QR codes, one per language?

No. One code opens the menu, and guests switch between Arabic and English on the page itself.

Is a bilingual menu free on Qaema?

Yes. The Free plan includes one venue with up to 50 items, in both languages.

Does Qaema translate my menu for me?

No. You write both languages yourself, or ask your own AI assistant to draft the translation, and you review it before publishing.

How to make a bilingual QR menu in Arabic and English

Many guests in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC read Arabic first, and many read English first. A bilingual QR menu serves both from a single code on the table, so you never print two menus or keep two lists in sync.

1. Start from what you already have

You don't need to retype your menu. On the Qaema home page you can start from a link to an existing online menu, a spreadsheet, a JSON file or a blank page. You can edit the draft and preview it before you create an account.

2. Give every item both names

Each section and item has an Arabic and an English field. Fill both for names and descriptions. Prices are entered once and shown in both languages.

Field	Arabic	English	Notes
Section name	المشروبات الساخنة	Hot drinks	Shown as a heading
Item name	لاتيه	Latte	Keep it short
Description	حليب مبخر مع إسبريسو	Steamed milk with espresso	One line is enough
Price	18	18	Entered once

3. Let each language read in its own direction

Arabic reads right to left and English left to right. Qaema's public menu flips the whole layout for Arabic, not just the text, so prices, badges and allergen labels sit where an Arabic reader expects them.

4. Print one QR code

Create table codes in the QR studio and print them from the print sheet. Each code opens the same menu, and guests choose their language on the page.

5. Keep it current

Mark an item sold out from your phone and the menu shows it within moments. Edits to names or prices go live when you publish.
