Dec 06, 2005 -- Fast food kiosks offer menus in foreign languages

Clark was in a non-English speaking country recently and used a translation machine to order food at a restaurant. He enters it in English and it prints out in the language spoken in the country. In this case, it was Germany. It helps speed up the order and it comes out just right. At the time, Clark wondered why we didn’t have something like this in the States. Well, it’s now happening in certain areas of the country. According to the Dallas Morning News, fast food chains are getting ready to roll out these terminals. About a dozen restaurants are involved, with a total of 60 McDonald’s in Texas alone. The terminals show 26 different languages and will soon be all over the country.

Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.
