今日のテキスト MAKING MENUS MULTILINGUAL

Officials at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government are trying to make it easier for Japanese restaurants to cater to foreign visitors. They have put up a website that helps restaurants create menus in foreign languages.
Tokyo officials aim to boost the annual number of foreign visitors to 15 million by the year 2020. Tokyo will host the Summer Olympics and Paralympics that year. But only a small number of local restaurants currently have menus in foreign languages.
The new website offers a choice of 12 languages. Registered users only need to select the languages they require and the dishes available at their restaurants to create their multilingual menus. The website also allows foreign tourists to search for restaurants offering menus in their native languages.
