A recipe in another language isn't a dead end
Some of the best recipes online aren't in your language - CookBird translates them the moment you import them.
Some of the best versions of a dish come from a site that isn't in your language - a regional blog, a local news site's recipe section, a page you found through a reverse image search of a photo you liked. Usually, that's where it ends: closing the tab because translating a whole recipe by hand, ingredient by ingredient, isn't worth it.
CookBird translates the recipe automatically as part of the import - not just the title, but the ingredients and the full directions - and saves the result to your recipe book like anything else you've added. The language it was written in stops being a reason to skip it.
How it works
Find a recipe in another language
A regional blog, a local news site, a page from a reverse image search - anywhere the recipe itself isn't in your language.
Paste the link into CookBird
The import process detects the source language and translates the recipe automatically as it fetches it - you don't choose a language or run a separate step.
Cook from the translated version
The result lands in your book like any other recipe - taggable, searchable, and editable if anything about the translation needs a tweak.
Translated as part of the import
Paste a link to a recipe in any language and CookBird translates it automatically while importing it - no separate translation step, no copy-pasting into another tool first.
Ingredients and directions, both
The whole recipe gets translated, not just the title - measurements, steps, and all, so you're not left guessing what a half-translated ingredient actually means.
One book, any language you found it in
Recipes from a dozen different sites in a dozen different languages end up readable in the same book, tagged and organized the same way as everything else.
Common questions
Which languages does it support?
The translation happens automatically as part of the import, detecting the source language rather than requiring you to pick from a fixed list.
Can I fix the translation if something looks off?
Yes - a translated recipe is fully editable afterward, the same as any recipe in your book. If a term or measurement translated awkwardly, you can correct it directly.
Does it translate step photos and captions too?
Step photos from the original page are kept in place in the directions - the translation applies to the written ingredients and steps.
Does translation cost extra or use up something limited?
No - translation is part of the normal import process on both Free and Premium accounts, not a separate paid add-on.
