In this CAS project, I teamed up with Jonathan, Janet and Adeline, we are going to serve the community by helping local restaurants to translate their physical and online menu to create a more foreigner friendly environment. We will also do some promotions on the restaurants through our own media or online instagram food blog to inform people that the restaurants are now foreigner friendly because we recognize that most foreigners such as my teachers often go to the same restaurants that already have a reputation for being able to speak english, such as FOSTER, and this would often lead to a phenomena in which most foreigners in the town going to the same place.
Our plan is listed in the following:
- Find a number of restaurants, approach them and communicate with them to see if them need this assistance.
- We will receive a Chinese copy of of the menu and will do the translating process, we are aware that the wording for the Chinese menu can be very hard to translate and often times the connotations after translation can be twisted or not so appetizing anymore. Therefore, if necessary, we will also do some designs on the menu.
- Create physical copy of the menu and return to the restaurants.
