Menus

How do you translate proper names of dishes on a multi-language menu?

The dish's proper name stays, and a line beside it says what it is, in each language. Do not translate it into a generic word if the house calls it by its name. List the names the kitchen will not change and write the line that explains them. In Madrid the English turns the house name into a stew and the table orders something else. The house name stays the same in every language, with a line that says what is in it.
