The inventory and catalog mainly include descriptions in German, French and English. Some descriptions are in Italian. The language of the projects displayed as a result of a query depends largely on the language in which the criteria were formulated.
This mix of languages is inevitable in the Swiss context. To search the entire database, it is indeed necessary to formulate criteria in all languages (German, French, English and Italian), using Boolean logic to combine criteria. To search for a group of word, please put it in quotes.
