The pivot

From a language service provider to language technology.

TRSB spent four decades getting multilingual content right by hand, for the industries that cannot afford to get it wrong. OTTO is what happens when that judgment becomes a platform.

TRSB, the foundation
What four decades built
  • In-house linguists, handpicked by field and language pair
  • Native fluency and register control in every language we work in
  • Secure, integrated systems for high volume and strict confidentiality
  • Translation, adaptation, editing, transcription, localization
  • ISO-certified quality, backed by a global network of specialists
One global content lifecycle
OTTO, the platform
What we made of it
  • Agentic AI that classifies, produces, and evaluates
  • A governance and orchestration layer over your own AI
  • An audit-ready record behind every decision
  • Built to pass pharma, finance, and public-sector review, so it works for everyone else too
  • The same ISO-certified rigor, now running at machine scale
forty years of judgment, now an agentic AI platform.

Our Solution

OTTO brings control and decision logic to multilingual production

Instead of sending every asset through the same translation and review path, OTTO determines upfront what can move automatically, what needs tighter controls, and what should be escalated to expert review.

Risk, Complexity, and Category

Flags regulatory and brand risk upfront, before content enters the pipeline.

Augmented Linguistic Layer

RAG and knowledge-graph grounding for terminology, tone, and regulatory consistency.

Quality Estimation & Evaluation

Automated, audit-ready scoring on every output, no human spot-checks required.

Why it holds up

Built for the right work that
cannot be wrong.

In regulated industries, a mistranslation is not a typo, it is a liability. Three principles keep OTTO trustworthy at scale.

01

Precision

Every message reflects the right tone, terminology, and intent, grounded in your own approved language across markets.

02

Compliance

ISO-certified processes and content that stands up to scrutiny, so the work meets the rule it answers to, the first time.

03

Accountability

A record of every decision, from classification to final approval, so you can show how and why each choice was made.

Questions

The short version.

OTTO is an agentic AI platform for multilingual content enablement and language technology, built on four decades of enterprise linguistic expertise. It classifies content, orchestrates the right multilingual production path, and evaluates quality before final approval.

Most tools translate. OTTO decides. Before any AI touches your content, OTTO works out what each message needs based on risk, produces it grounded in your own terminology, evaluates it, and keeps a record of every decision.

OTTO is the language technology platform built by TRSB, a translation company trusted for four decades across North America and around the world. OTTO distills that expertise into agentic AI.

OTTO supports regulated and high-stakes industries such as pharma, finance, and the public sector, where multilingual content must be accurate, compliant, and culturally aligned.

Yes. OTTO is a governance and orchestration layer that wraps around the AI you already use, making your existing setup safe and auditable.

OTTO is built on ISO-certified quality processes with human-in-the-loop control and an audit-ready record of every decision.
