Melissa, the American Translators Association (atanet.org) ought to be able
to steer you in the right direction.
Also, SF probably has some other professional associations that are related
to translation and localization.
And there are two freelance-oriented websites that I can mention that run
ads from some of the larger vendors. One is proz.com and the other is
translatorscafe.com.
And STC publications usually run ads from the larger translation vendors
(SH3 and Lingo Systems are two names that I remember).

I'm looking for a vendor that can translate documentation (including
user interface windows, dialogs, and online help) into the following
languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Traditional
Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
If anyone has a vendor they've worked with before or a vendor they can
recommend, I'd appreciate it. (We're in the SF Bay area.) I'm on
digest, so please reply to me directly.
