Korean restaurant do not often provide english version of their menu

[ndethore]

Issue

Foreigners are not familiar with the traditional korean food names. They don't know what to order when going to the restaurant and the restaurant often can't describe the meals in English. Some people needs to be aware of peanut traces or anything else that could trigger allergies.

Proposed Solution

• User takes a picture of the menu in a restaurant using an app.
• The app compares the items on the picture it to a database of common korean meals (wikipedia has a lot of infos).
• The user gets back an interactive list of the meals + details (Photo, Ingredients, more...) for each item on the menu.

this idea is quite similar with wiki-something that @rossgeesman, @chaabaj , @john suggested

Oh, I came accross @rossgeesman message that says that "there is already a pretty decent version made by the Korea Tourism Organization." ! Shall I close the issue ?
