The best recipes don’t care what language you read in. A Korean stew, a Japanese home-cooking blog, a Spanish grandmother’s notes — Sorrel now reads them all, the same way it reads a recipe written in your own language, and brings them back as something you can cook from.
The whole recipe, not just the title
Sorrel reads recipe pages in Korean, Japanese and Chinese, as well as Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. Not just the title — the ingredient list and every step, the parts you actually need at the stove. A page that used to come back half-empty because it wasn’t in English now comes back whole.
Translated into your language
If a recipe is written in a different language from the one you use Sorrel in, Sorrel translates it for you — ingredients and steps together, in the units and the wording you’d expect. You read the recipe in your language; the cook who wrote it keeps writing in theirs.
Show original, whenever you want it
A translated recipe says so at the top, so you always know what you’re looking at. Tap Show original and the source text comes back, exactly as it was written — handy when you want to check a word, confirm an ingredient, or just read it the way the author meant it.
Free, and on by default
Translation is free, and it’s on from the start — there’s nothing to turn on and nothing to pay. If you’d rather keep recipes in their original language, you can turn it off in Settings under Translate recipes. The translation happens on Sorrel’s server rather than on your phone, so it needs a connection; everything else about a recipe stays on your phone as always.
On iPhone now
Reading recipes in other languages and translating them is in Sorrel for iPhone today, with Android to follow. However you found the recipe and whatever language it’s in, it ends up as one clean recipe in your library.
