OTTO’s three engines, and where our team comes in

RCC 01 · Classify

Risk, Complexity & Category

Recommends the optimal workflow based on content risk and complexity.

With TRSB

When RCC recommends human review for high-risk content, our certified translators and copywriters take it.

ALL 02 · Produce

Augmented Linguistic Layer

Translates, creates and adjusts content, grounded in your glossaries, translation memories and style guides.

With TRSB

Our terminologists and localization specialists build the glossaries and style guides ALL is grounded in.

QEE 03 · Evaluate

Quality Estimation & Evaluation

Scores fluency, accuracy and consistency, checks compliance, and explains every score.

With TRSB

When QEE flags content for human review, our reviewers take it.

The rest of our services are delivered through OTTO Managed Localization and OTTO Advisory.

When you need people

OTTO flags high-stakes content for experts. Not every team has them.

Most teams have reviewers for some fields and some languages, not all of them. Live and voiced work, and setting up a multilingual program, also need people.

High-risk content needs a qualified reviewer

When regulated or high-stakes content goes to expert review, someone qualified in the field and the language pair has to take it.

Some work happens live or on audio

Interpretation, voiceover, dubbing and subtitling happen in a meeting, a booth or a studio, with people who do it every day.

A multilingual program needs setting up

Terminology, workflows, tool selection, accessibility and language law compliance go faster with people who have done it before.

Our services

Twenty language services in four families.

Delivered with TRSB’s global network of certified linguists and specialists, on the OTTO Platform or as a managed service.
