People who live gluten free frequently need to explain their needs to a food server who does not speak English fluently and then expect their server to convey that message to a kitchen worker who may be even less fluent. ‘Restaurant Cards’ , which explain the gluten free diet in other languages, may be a lifesaver in such a situation.
Special Gourmets (dot com) provides cards in English, Spanish, and Portugese. These cards are two-sided so that you can add a personal message before or after you print them out. Celiac Travel (dot com) provides cards in 51 different languages. A suggestion: look at the English card to find out what you are ‘saying’ when you give the card to your server.
