# Importing menu data

Menus are imported as a set of five entities. Each entity covers a distinct part of the menu import model.

## File overview

| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [`menudefinitions`](menudefinitions) | Defines menus by pairing a content group with a price group. |
| [`contentgroups`](contentgroups) | Groups categories and items into named content groups. |
| [`pricegroups`](pricegroups) | Specifies item prices and VAT configurations. |
| [`categories`](categories) | Organises items into categories and subcategories. |
| [`items`](items) | Defines all products and containers. |

## `translatableContent`

Several string values across the files support translations and context-specific overrides. These use the `translatableContent` structure described below.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `value` | string | Yes | Default display value, used when no matching translation is available. |
| `translations` | object | No | Map of locale code (e.g. `"sv-SE"`) to translated string. |
| `overrides` | object | No | Map of named variant keys (e.g. `"titleShort"`) to a `translatableContent`. Allows context-specific display variants. |

```json
{
  "value": "Beverages",
  "translations": {
    "sv-SE": "Drycker"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "titleShort": {
      "value": "Bev",
      "translations": {
        "sv-SE": "Dryck"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
