In your language
Tracking what you eat is hard enough without doing it in a second language. NutriMacro works in 108 countries — and knows the food you actually eat.
NutriMacro follows your phone's language automatically, translating screens as you open them, across 108 countries. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Polish, Arabic and more — with barcodes and macros working identically whichever you choose.
Translating an app is usually a one-off project: someone exports a file of phrases, a translator fills it in, and it ships. Every new feature after that either waits for the next translation round or launches in English only. So most fitness apps support a handful of big markets properly and leave everyone else with a half-translated screen.
The result is familiar if you've lived it: the menu is in your language, the thing you actually need — a nutrient name, an error message, a serving description — is not.
Reading nutrition information in a second language is a genuine tax on attention. Working out whether "saturated fat" means what you think, translating your own dinner into an English search term before the app will accept it, checking a number twice because the label around it isn't in your first language — none of that is difficult, and all of it is friction.
Friction is what kills tracking. Not motivation.
Rather than shipping a fixed set of translation files, the app translates its screens as you use them and remembers what it produced. That means a feature added this month is available in your language the day it ships, not a release or two later.
It follows your phone's language by default, and you can set it yourself if you'd rather. Everything else works the same regardless: barcodes are global, so a product scanned in Madrid, Mumbai or Munich returns the manufacturer's own panel; macros and micronutrients are the same numbers with the same meaning.
An app translated into Hindi that still can't find roti, dal, idli or poha hasn't solved anything. The hard part isn't the interface; it's the database behind it.
NutriMacro identifies regional dishes by their own names, and the photo scanner is told where you are so it answers "Dal Tadka" rather than "lentil soup", and "Roti" rather than "flatbread". Portions follow the same logic — foods are counted the way they're eaten, so idli comes in idlis and bread comes in slices, not grams.
Whichever language you use, the app is doing more than counting calories: workouts, running and cycling, sleep, recovery and stress all sit alongside the food log. That matters because a week of eating only makes sense next to the training it fuelled — a hard session and a bad night explain a lot that a calorie number on its own cannot.
Yes — NutriMacro runs in Hindi and several other Indian languages, with Indian foods recognised by name rather than approximated into Western equivalents.
It follows your phone automatically. You can also set it manually in the app if you'd prefer to track in a different language from the rest of your device.
No. Barcodes are international and the underlying nutrition data is shared, so scanning works the same everywhere.
Download NutriMacro and it will open in your language.
