The source language is detected automatically. Choose the language you want for the preview.

Nothing is saved here. Check the original recipe before cooking, especially amounts, temperatures, and allergens.

What stays intact

Amounts, temperatures, timers, and step order.

The translation is formatted as a recipe you can cook from, with the source language close enough to check.

  • Ingredient names

    Keep the original term beside the English name when that is more useful.

  • Measurements

    Quantities remain attached to the right ingredients.

  • Cooking cues

    Heat levels, texture, color, and doneness stay inside the step that uses them.

  • Original source

    Return to the creator’s page or video when the translation needs context.

Try it with one recipe

Keep the original beside your translation.

Save both versions in Shio. Cook from the translated instructions and check the source when a phrase needs more context.

Useful questions

Before you paste the link.

Do I need to choose the recipe's original language?

No. Shio detects the source language. You choose the language you want to read.

Which languages can I translate a recipe into?

Shio currently offers English, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese for saved recipe output. The source recipe can be written in another language.

Does the translator convert measurements too?

Shio preserves the source quantities during translation. After saving the recipe, you can convert units separately without changing the original copy.
