Quick answer: CookBook is fully supported in English today. A beta version with Spanish, French, German, and Italian interface text will roll out soon. During beta, some features may still work best in English.
Current language support
English – full app interface and all features (importer, shopping list, scaling, unit conversion, etc.).English is the only fully supported language in CookBook.
Beta languages coming soon
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Italian
Note: While the menus and buttons will appear in these languages, advanced features such as recipe importing, ingredient recognition, shopping-list aisle categorisation, and scaling may still rely on English-language data. You may see mixed results until the underlying AI models are retrained.
Why full localisation is complex
- Ingredient parsing & unit conversion need language-specific data.
- Shopping-list aisles rely on machine-learning categories built in English.
- Recipe importer must detect and map measurements, steps, and quantities in each language.

When the beta opens, we’ll invite users. Feedback from native speakers will help ensure it's all functioning correctly.
