We are a translation agency that works in over 40 languages with over 400 translators in our database. we require a custom built application that allows us to manage the process of a translation contract from first contact with client through to allocating translators/proofreaders, sending and receiving source files and providing final product to client. we have only seen one app available that comes close, but this is too complicated for our needs (see attachment). the application we are looking for is to be web based, can be php or asp, must be secure, and have an attractive GUI. no clunky looking DOS like apps please! I have attached below a basic outline of what we require and the steps our process follows. Added 19/07/05: from an end user point of view, it is extremely important that the app has full functionality on win 2000 & XP, Mac OSX, IE5+, Firefox and Safari browsers.
