Im trying to open epic games (which is an intel only app) through rosetta 2, but the option does not show up when I press "get info" on the app. also it didnt ask me to downlaod rosetta 2 when I first tried opened the app. I'm on MacOS Monterey version 12.1 on a 14" macbok pro m1 pro.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.1
Terminal Command without Quotation Marks " /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta "
Terminal Command without Quotation Marks " /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta "
I tried that and it said "Install of Rosetta 2 finished successfully" but I still don't see the option to open with rosetta 2 even after restarting my Mac.

Using Rosetta
Rosetta is not an app that you need to open. Rosetta works automatically in the background whenever you use an app built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor. It translates the app for use with Apple silicon.
In most cases, you won't notice any difference in the performance of an app that needs Rosetta. But you should contact the app developer to inquire about a version that can natively use the full power and performance of Apple silicon.
I dont believe it has anything to do with epic games, I am unable to open any app with rosetta 2
What happens when you try to install it?
Have you went to Epici support or their community forum?
What are the system requirements?
It may not be compatible with Monterey. Many apps require updated to work on Monterey.
An option to open with Rosetta is only available for Universal Binary apps (Intel+M1) as they open by default with the M1 compatibility layer and someone may want to open in Intel mode for compatibility with NON M1 plug-ins. For Intel apps, the should just open after Rosetta is installed (in automatic, mostly). if they don't, therefore, they aren't "Rosetta compatible" although I haven't yet found an app which isn't Rosetta compatible.
Rosetta 2 option not showning up
