Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program for scheduling interpreters. The method includes receiving at a computer system information from a number of interpreters; storing at least some of the interpreter information in memory accessible by the computer system; receiving at the computer system a request from a customer for an interpreter to perform an interpretation assignment; searching with the computer system the interpreter information in the memory to identify interpreters who meet a criteria of the request; providing information about the interpretation assignment to the interpreters who meet the criteria; receiving at the computer system an availability acknowledgment from at least one of the interpreters; scheduling the interpretation assignment with one of the interpreters who provides the availability acknowledgment; and notifying the customer that the interpretation assignment has been scheduled.
