Prerequisite: A tag dictionary that has all those (common) cuisine values for all languages.

Ideally, don't let people tag it as vegan/vegetarian. There is a specific key for that: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diet

@picsi Maybe make a new quest/issue about this?

But the cuisine tag is one of the most important ones for a restaurant. This quest shouldn't dash against the translation problem.

Four ways to get all cuisine type's names in different languages:

• Researching it in the OSM wiki, where this key is explained in these languages: čeština · Deutsch · English · español · français · português · русский · 日本語 · 中文（简体）‎
• Using a translating community iD for example is translated via transifex.com
• Copying the translation from another open source editor which can be found GitHub (if allowed)
• Looking the words up in a dictionary like dict.cc, which should be possible since it's about individual words/phrases, not whole sentences

Using a translating community

https://poeditor.com/ is already used (see Readme) and the translators there usually translate strings very fast.
So I think this won't be a big problem.

Let's get back at this quest, as said for restaurants it is a very important one. Of course, only solvable from the inside, so should be disabled by default.

BTW if one needs a use case of the data: Maps/Maps.me uses (displays) it and also allows adding it.

As for the data, is not that easy? Just use the OSM wiki, or taginfo to get all available data, @westnordost? The rest would be like a street name quest with a simple dropdown/autocomplete.

... or make a picture quest with fixed values. This may even be better, as it is more illustrative. (One could even use the entries Maps.me offers there.)

I could do again some country-wise analysis like I also did for #203 and #570 if this is wanted...

[ServusWorld]

Another way to solve the problem that the user is overwhelmed by the options would be a search box (as in MAPS.ME).
But of course that would be very effortful ...

[rugk]

A search box would basically just be, what i said earlier:

The rest would be like a street name quest with a simple dropdown/autocomplete.

I.e. not a picture quest, but the street name quest, in a different way.

[HolgerJeromin]

A least vespucci allows multiple values as
cuisine=burger;pizza
And has a localization mapping of values

[rugk]

Sure, that would be possible with a picture quest, too.

Should be unblocked now since https://github.com/westnordost/osmfeatures is implemented.
