Team “Monday Spoon,” consisting of four HUFSans, invented HUFSPOON, a mobile application that translates the HUFS cafeteria menus, for foreign students at Seoul Campus in mid-July.

This application translates the menus of all three cafeterias of the Seoul Campus. It is only supported by Android devices in English for now. The team is planning to broaden language choices even to Japanese and Chinese, and also make it supported by iOS devices as well. “We are planning to make it available for iPhones as well by mid-September at the latest,” Lee Seung-joon, one of the members, said.

The team “Monday Spoon” is composed of four HUFSans, Juhn Jin-Cheol (Dept. of Public Administration, ‘10), Lee Seung-joon (College of Chinese, ‘14), Lee Sang-rok (Dept. of German, ‘12) and Lee So-young (Dept. of Turkish and Azerbaijani, ‘12).

According to “Monday Spoon,” they thought HUFS should have this available since there are foreign students on campus. Lee also said, “We are very happy to be of help to students by what we can do.” They are also planning to launch menu translation of restaurants around Seoul Campus even for restaurants at Hoegi and Cheongnyangni.
