I Built a $6 Menu Translator Cafes Actually Want (Gemma Local, $0 API Cost)

Описание и применение

Ресторан получает локальный переводчик меню, который работает офлайн, не требует API‑ключей и сохраняет рецепты на ноутбуке, за одноразовую плату ₹499 ($6).

Задача

Restaurant owners lose foreign customers daily because generic translation apps misinterpret dish names, require internet, and send recipes to uncontrolled servers.

Результат

The solution allows a single-location restaurant to pay a one-time fee of ₹499 ($6) for 30 dishes plus QR, with no monthly SaaS costs, zero marginal cost per translation, and full data privacy.

Рабочий процесс

• Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run offline CLI demo with python demo.py to translate sample dishes
• Run Gradio UI with python app.py to translate user input and view provenance
• Optionally enable Gemma local by setting HF_TOKEN in .env and restarting the app

Доказательства

Owners lose foreign customers daily to “what is Chole Bhature?” Generic translate apps mangle dish names, need internet, and send recipes to a server they don’t control.
