Baron Samedi Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Is there a way to translate GrabFood offers from Thai to English ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I get around it by using a spare phone with Google translate to read the Thai screen text and translate to English. I haven't found a better way (other than learning to read Thai). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny202 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 You know you can translate from a photo? Just take a screen shot of the page...open google translate and select the camera / photo icon. Then select the photo from your gallery. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion58 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Seems as though Grab Food doesn't want any non-Thai business. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnydrops Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Google Lens https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.lens&hl=en_US&gl=US I use it to read menus and articles. Just point the phone at the print, no need to take picture. Also for Iphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the non-Thai element of their business is so infinitesimally small that they are not bothered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Another vote for Google Lens as it works on the ubiquitous infographics/cartoons. It also works well to identify information on images, like where is that building in that photo, and where did this chap steal that image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklev Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) They don't want the business. They could offer a sort by English menu button with virtually no programming effort but they don't. You can use their online site with Chrome and Google Translate the page, although logging in to see the prices is annoying as you must use a phone access code each time. It is the easiest way though. https://food.grab.com/th/en/?utm_source=grab.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=hero-banner-food-product&pid=Grab.com&c=hero-banner Edited November 6, 2022 by ricklev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchar Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 You have to take a screenshot and then open it in Google translate. But the offers on Grab are pretty rubbish these days so I just use foodpanda which is already in English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more amazed to know how to point the phone that the menu is displayed on at the app that is on that same phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, maybe I don't understand how you are getting this menu on Grab as I have never used it. This is how I have used Google Len on similar apps. If the menu comes as a photo, I just open it in Google photos, click the Lens button, and then translate. If on the other hand, it comes in another format, I do a screen capture, open in Google photos, click Lens, translate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Tap Translate Screen app. Draw a box round the Thai text with the on-screen cursor and it'll translate the contents of the box. Fiddly to start with but you get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
