I don't remember my exact use case when I wrote TRCH, but I know I needed to translate only one letter at a time. At around the time I wrote it, someone else asked for a program to do the same thing, so I shared it. TRCH is included in FreeDOS.

There is a DOS version of tr.exe included in gnutut12.zip ("text utilities") in our copy of the GNUish archives. I haven't used this version in ages so I don't know what features are/not included, but you can find it at:
