Translation

割り当てる / 配分する / 充てる

Meaning

Allocate means to assign a limited resource such as money, time, space, staff, or attention to a person, project, or purpose. The object is usually the resource, not the problem. Do not confuse allocate with allot, which is often more about giving each person a share.
