*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/features/tenders-in-english/](https://www.selltostate.com/features/tenders-in-english/)*

Most tenders outside the English-speaking countries are published in the local language. Sell to State lets you search in English and still find them.

```
1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Show me verification_uri_complete from the reply as a link. I open it, sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

2. The tools are free to connect. A free account gets plan_search 3 times a day and search for 2 different searches a day: titles, buyers, status and dates. Amounts, winners and notice links need a plan. Call whoami to see my plan. Read the skill at https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate-tenders-in-english/SKILL.md.

## The problem with an English-only search

A tender for "road maintenance" in Spain says "mantenimiento de carreteras". In Germany it says "Straßenunterhaltung". An English keyword finds neither. Many vendors miss these markets for this reason.

## Local-language words in every search

We record the languages of the tender titles of each country. When you describe what you sell, the keyword generator writes the search in English and in those languages, with OR between the words.

## Results you can read

The tender page shows the title, the buyer, the value and the dates in one structure for every country. Your AI agent can translate the full title and the notice text through the MCP server.

## How it works

1. Describe what you sell: In English, or give your website.
2. Pick the countries: We know the languages of each one.
3. Get one search: English plus the local words, with OR.
4. Save it: New matches arrive by email.

## Who uses it

- Exporters that enter European, Latin American or Asian public markets
- Companies that bid in several countries from one team
- Agencies that support exporters with market research

## Questions

### Which languages are covered?

The languages of the tender titles of every live country, for example Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian and Romanian.

### Do you translate the tenders?

The search finds them in the original language. The structured fields (buyer, value, dates, status) are the same for every country. An AI agent connected through MCP can translate the text for you.
