Software995 Inc. announced that ThinkMatch has added Korean and Hebrew interface support and expanded its local venue catalog beyond the United States to England, France, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and Australia.
ThinkMatch is now available in six interface languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Hebrew. Hebrew includes right-to-left presentation throughout the interface. People can choose their language while retaining access to the same core discovery, event, questionnaire, matching, discussion, and communication experiences.
Supporting more languages changes more than a menu setting. New public features and content must be prepared for every supported language, including visible text, accessibility labels, validation messages, page metadata, and other parts of the experience. ThinkMatch treats that additional work as part of making the product genuinely usable across languages rather than presenting a partially translated shell.
The local venue catalog now contains more than 1.3 million place records. The United States catalog covers a broader set of common gathering places, while the new international coverage currently focuses on selected cafes and bars in England, France, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and Australia.
A catalog entry represents a place people can discover; it does not imply that an event is already active or that someone is waiting there. ThinkMatch can activate the event experience when a person chooses to host or participate, allowing a much larger local catalog without maintaining an empty event for every place.
The expanded catalog is stored and refreshed as part of ThinkMatch's own venue-discovery system. This makes nearby-place discovery more dependable, supports typed OpenStreetMap identifiers, and provides a repeatable path for adding or refreshing countries as ThinkMatch grows.
"Language and location both shape whether a product feels local," said Scott Rothstein, Architect at Software995 Inc. "Adding Korean and Hebrew—and building a venue catalog people can recognize in more countries—helps ThinkMatch make the first step toward meeting feel more familiar and useful."
About ThinkMatch
ThinkMatch is a common-ground-first platform built to change how people meet in real life. People can begin with a topic, story, event, or other shared interest, then find or create a small local Roundtable around it. Guests can answer event-specific questions, and ThinkMatch uses their responses to support more thoughtful introductions, compatible groups, conversation starters, private chat, and optional video before people meet in person. Hosts can also create free public or private events for parties, meetings, campus activities, conventions, community gatherings, and other real-world occasions. ThinkMatch's goal is to make meeting new people feel easier, warmer, and more intentional by giving people a meaningful reason to talk before they walk into the room.
