German Celiac Translation Card
For the moments when a quick exchange isn't enough — when you're ordering a full meal, navigating a traditional German kitchen, or trying to understand exactly what's in a dish.
This laminated tri-fold card is designed for the full dining conversation in Germany. It opens with a clear medical declaration — Ich habe Zöliakie. Ich kann kein Gluten essen. — and carries that framing through every question and requirement that follows. Kitchen staff understand this is not a preference before they read another word.
German cuisine is wheat-forward by nature — bread, pretzels, beer-based sauces, and breaded preparations appear across every region and meal type. This card gives you the language to ask the right questions before the plate arrives.
Compact enough for a wallet. Laminated for durability. Folds flat and travels well.
Single card. Tri-fold, laminated. Wallet size.
Includes:
Dining questions covering cross-contamination, fryer use, sauce ingredients, and kitchen communication — in German and English
Meal requirement statements your server can bring directly to the kitchen
Ingredients to avoid, listed in German with English translations
Pairs well with A Celiac Guide to the German Table — a digital companion that gives you the reasoning behind every phrase, the hidden risks specific to German kitchens, and the vocabulary to handle situations the card alone cannot cover. Read it before you go. Reference it on your phone when you need it.
Also pairs well with the German Celiac Café Card — keep the translation card in your wallet for sit-down meals, and hand off a café card at quick stops. Available together in the Germany Celiac Card Set, or with the digital guide in the Germany Celiac Travel Set.
