# Publish and translate your menu

Nothing on your menu is public until you publish it. After that, guests see exactly this version on your Smart Page.

## Publish
1. Open [[Smart Page › Edit page › Menu]].
2. When the bar at the bottom shows "Ready for your guests.", tap **Publish**. If checks are still left, [check your dishes first](gerichte-pruefen-und-freigeben).
3. The "Preview menu" screen shows the menu as guests see it. Tap **Publish to Smart Page**.
4. The "Publish for all branches?" window shows how many dishes were added, changed or removed. Tap **Publish for 2 branches** (the number matches your locations).
5. "Menu published" appears. Tap **View on Smart Page** to open your page.

The bar then shows "Published" and "Guests see exactly this version." Later changes stay in the draft until you publish again.

## Rules
- Only Owners and Managers can publish. Editors can prepare everything.
- You need a paid plan. Otherwise you see "A qualifying active plan is needed to publish menus." Your saved menus are kept.
- All locations on your account share one menu. Publishing replaces it everywhere.
- Unconfirmed AI suggestions remain private.

## Take it offline
Tap the tools button at the bottom right, then **Take offline**. Confirm with **Unpublish menus everywhere**. Your draft is kept.

## Languages
Guests see your menu in their own language automatically. You can adjust a language yourself:
1. Tap the tools button, then **Languages**.
2. Tap a language. It shows "Needs review" or "Reviewed".
3. Change the texts and compare them with the original.
4. Tap **Confirm translation reviewed**. The language is included the next time you publish.

Use **Add language manually** to add another language. Languages you added but haven't reviewed are not published. The preview lists them under "Not included in this publication:".

## Common questions
**I don't see a publish button.** Your role is Editor or Read-only access. Ask an Owner or Manager.

**Do I have to publish again after "Sold out"?** No. [Sold out](ausverkauft-markieren) takes effect at once.
