Abstract
A system and method of identifying and allocating translation services in response to a user's request for translation of a document. The system and method of the invention is configured to put a user having a translation request in contact with a candidate translation service via a moderator. The method of the present invention includes registering translation services with the moderator via a website. The moderator creates a profile having contact information of the translation service. The profile further includes one or keys characterizing previously translated documents by the translation service. Upon receiving a user's request for translation of user's document, the moderator matches the keys characterizing the translation service with the user's translation request. The system and method increase the efficiency and lower the cost in locating a translation service having relevant experience in the field of the user's translation request.
