Translate a menu and find the path on foot

Use described publicly by LinkedIn — Sylvain Ramaradjou, Gemini au Mexique (21 August 2025), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

For 12 days in Mexico, Sylvain Ramaradjou asked Gemini 2.5 the walking route to a place in Mexico City, twenty facts imbued with the exhibits visited, and the translation of the map of a small neighborhood establishment where no one spoke English.

What was done

Post LinkedIn signed (21 August 2025), not the site of a company. Experienced use (path, menu, flight information when the airport was blocked), not a test to reject the tool. Distinct from Houessou (Perplexity, Canary Islands, other URL) and Talbot (ChatGPT, other URL). Samsung translation and watch-driven messages: out of title. No plane tickets are published.

Before you start

Tool cited by the source: Gemini. Fill in the bracketed items: [resto]. Strip confidential data that is not needed and check your tool’s access terms. Features and plans can change.

The method, in three steps.

  1. Gather the context

    Spot the bracketed items in the prompt ([resto]) and prepare what they ask for.

  2. Adapt the prompt

    Copy the prompt below, replace the bracketed items, then paste it into Gemini.

  3. Reread before using

    Reread the result, correct it if needed and keep the final decision. Caveats are detailed below.

Your starting point.

Replace the bracketed items, then adapt the proposal to your situation. This prompt is written by the iadujour desk It is not a quotation from the source.

The prompt to customise
City (facts): Mexico City. Need: walking route to [resto], then translation of this map (photo).

Give the path and the flat translation by flat. No schedule. Distinguish what is to be crossed on the spot.

What deserves your attention

A generated translation is not the map. Cross each dish and schedule on site, and do not paste ID.
Origin of the case. Use described publicly by LinkedIn — Sylvain Ramaradjou, Gemini au Mexique (21 August 2025).
Proof level: Public declarative post. Source checked on 10 November 2026. Use described by the source, not tested by the desk. Original summary written by iadujour.fr: figures and claims are the source’s; the prompt is a desk proposal, not a quotation.
