The term 'menu selection' is widely used in Brazil in both digital interfaces and restaurant contexts. In modern Portuguese-speaking countries, it's become increasingly standardized due to technology and software localization. In restaurants, Brazilians may more naturally say 'escolha do prato' (dish choice) instead, while in computing contexts, 'seleção de menu' is the standard technical term.
