Predefined multi-lingual names for ingredients #4219
Replies: 2 comments 1 reply

Just want to voice my support for this cause it might be a straight up deal breaker for me. I just installed mealie today and the absolute first thing i noticed when creating my first recipe was this issue with predefined foods/ingredients names all being in English without multi lang support, even changing the application language keeps the ingredients in English. The issue i have with this is that i would like to add recipes in the original language it comes with, but that would end up with me having to create duplicate ingredients and that in turn would end up being quite the nuisance with multiple entries when searching. If i want to find every recipe with Apple i would have to check Apple, Äpple, Eple and maçã etc. If my instructions are in Norwegian i want to be able to just click language-> Norwegian in the recipe edit windows and then have the ingredients show up in the right language. |

First Check
Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.
I am Portuguese but a significant part of the recipes I have in Mealie are in English. While I need English recipes to remain in English and Portuguese recipes to remain in Portuguese, I would still like to treat the ingredients in an uniform way.
Because I generated master data in Portuguese, the zucchini ingredient is "curgete". If I want "zucchini" to be recognized as "curgete", I must manually add it to its pseudonyms. But there are 206 ingredients in my list.
Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.
I would like:
Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision
This will require a more complex master data maintenance and will require a new attribute "language" to be added to each recipe. This may be relatively complex. Otherwise I don't see any downside in terms of usability.
I wouldn happily help enrich the translated list of ingredients.
