busca pareja, celestina, casamentera


Explanation:


Celestina se refiere al famoso personaje de "La Celestina" que se dedicaba precisamente a tratar de unir parejas. La palabra se ha seguido usando para indicar eso o alcahuete. Dado que es para un programa de internet, quizas no sea adecuado, pero casamentera es una opción, aunque Celestina sería algo jocoso.

Alcahuete/tercero


Explanation:
Como dice la RAE, éstas palabras harían referencia a:"Persona que concierta, encubre o facilita una relación amorosa". Que serían lo mismo que Celestina. No obstante, mi sugerencia es, si fuera posible, dejarlo sin traducir. "Matchmaker".

disagree  Ana Rona: Ojo, 'alcahuete' tiene connotaciones sumamente peyorativas en muchas partes del mundo de habla hispana. Que se use en España no quiere decir que sea una traducción deseable para el español en general, y mucho menos con fines comerciales.

  -> Sí, tienes razón, aunque no conozco cómo es realmente la aplicación, de ahí mi recomendación de no traducirlo
