A Finnish tender is written in Finnish, a Greek one in Greek. TenderCatcher translates the title and the summary of every notice, lets you search in your own language across all of them, and always shows the original next to the translation.
Every language is a small product of its own — translation, search, measurement, support. So they come one at a time, in three classes:

Next in line. You can choose it as your primary language; until it is switched on, you read and search in your second language. It becomes active once enough people have chosen it.
FrenchSpanishDutchPortugueseSwedishCzechRomanianGreekTurkishUkrainian
On the list, and selectable as your primary language too. We count who chooses it — that count decides which language moves up next.
Everyone picks a primary language — any language from the list — and a secondary one that is always active, English by default. Whatever the primary language cannot show yet, you read in the secondary one. Nobody gets an empty page because their language is not active yet.
| Part of the notice | In your language |
|---|---|
| Title | translated, always |
| Short description | translated, cut at a sentence boundary after 2,000 characters — shortened, not summarised |
| CPV labels | the official EU labels, in 24 languages |
| Country and region | official Eurostat names |
| Deadlines and values | not translated, formatted the way your language writes dates and numbers |
| Name of the contracting authority | kept in the original; Greek and Cyrillic names with a Latin transliteration next to it |
| Tender documents | never — they stay on the publishing platform |

right match in first place
Given a text in one language, the search puts its translation in another language in first place — measured on 1,200 official EU term pairs across six language pairs, including Finnish, Greek, Latvian and Hungarian (8 September 2026).
1 vector
per notice, from the original
The search works on meaning, not on words. That is why “tram noise reduction” finds a Greek notice without anyone having to guess the Greek word — and why a new language does not make the search more expensive.
0.50
minimum closeness to the original
Every translation is compared with its original. One that is no closer to it than an unrelated notice is discarded: it is neither shown nor searched nor emailed.
Every translated title and description is marked as machine translated, and the original stands next to it — never behind a click. What counts is the original.
Some authorities publish a notice in two official languages. Those pairs are our yardstick: every model change is measured against them before it goes live.
Titles and descriptions are translated by a model hosted in Switzerland. Names, emails and phone numbers of procurement officers are not sent to it.
The website and the app are in English and German today. Further interface languages follow the target languages — French and Spanish first.
