A system comprising:

• a communications module;
• at least one memory storing instructions, a plurality of profiles, and a repository of establishment information including descriptions of activities that are available to be performed at a plurality of geographic locations;
• and
• at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled with the at least one memory, wherein the instructions instruct the at least one hardware processor to:
• receive a first transmission via the communications module from a device, the first transmission including a current context associated with the device including at least location information for a geographic location of the device, the device associated with a particular profile in the plurality of profiles;
• determine, from the particular profile, a preferred language associated with the device;
• analyze the particular profile to determine at least one contextual activity preference associated with the particular profile;
• automatically determine at least one matching contextual activity preference from among the at least one contextual activity preference, wherein the at least one matching contextual activity preference matches the current context associated with the device, wherein the at least one matching contextual activity preference indicates a preference for at least one activity to be performed in the current context associated with the device;
• in response to receiving the first transmission, search the repository of establishment information based on the location information, the current context associated with the device, and the at least one determined contextual activity preference to automatically identify at least one activity in response to the search, the at least one identified activity matching the current context associated with the device and the at least one matching contextual activity preference, the at least one identified activity associated with at least one activity description in a foreign language different than the preferred language associated with the device;
• translate the at least one activity description of the at least one identified activity from the foreign language to the preferred language to create at least one translated activity description;
• in response to creating the at least one translated activity description, transmit, via the communications module, a second transmission to the device, the second transmission including the at least one translated activity description for presentation at the device;
• receive, via the communications module and from the device, a third transmission indicating a selection on the device of a selected activity to be performed at a first establishment;
• automatically generate, in response to receiving the third transmission, an audio recording that audibly describes, in the foreign language, the selected activity activity;
• and
• transmit, to the device, a fourth transmission that includes the audio recording to enable a user of the device to play the audio recording that audibly describes, in the foreign language, the selected activity, to place an order at the first establishment for the selected activity.

A device comprising:

• a communications module;
• a display;
• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled with the at least one memory, the communications module, and the display, wherein the instructions instruct the at least one hardware processor to:
• transmit a first transmission via the communications module to a server, the first transmission including a current context associated with the device including at least location information for a geographic location of the device, the device associated with a particular profile in a plurality of profiles accessible by the server, the profile indicating a preferred language associated with the device;
• receive a second transmission via the communications module from the server, the second transmission including at least one first activity description in the preferred language that is a translation of at least one second activity description from a foreign language to the preferred language, the at least one second activity description being a search result of a search performed by the server of a repository of establishment information that includes descriptions of activities that are available to be performed at a plurality of geographic locations, the search performed to identify at least one activity based on the location information, the current context associated with the device, and at least one determined contextual activity preference identified for the device based on the profile, the at least one identified activity matching the current context associated with the device and the at least one determined contextual preference;
• and
• display the at least one first activity description on the display;
• receive, as a selected activity, a selection of a first suggested activity to be performed at a first establishment;
• transmit, to the server, a third transmission indicating the selected activity to be performed at the first establishment;
• receive, from the server, a fourth transmission that includes an audio recording that was automatically generated by the server that audibly describes, in the foreign language, the selected activity;
• present a selectable user interface element configured to enable playback of the audio recording;
• receive selection of the selectable user interface element;
• and
• play, in response to selection of the selectable user interface element, the audio recording that audibly describes, in the foreign language, the selected activity, to place an order at the first establishment for the selected activity.
