Translation options in Tallyfy

Section titled “Translation options in Tallyfy”

Working with a global team? You’ve got two ways to handle language barriers in Tallyfy:

  1. UI language - switch the language of menus, buttons, and system messages
  2. Content translation - let Microsoft Azure AI translate what people actually write - task descriptions, comments, form answers

If you’re operating internationally, check out global workplace language requirements. Many countries require translating employee documentation (SOPs, policies, training materials) into local languages.

Translating content with Azure AI

Section titled “Translating content with Azure AI”

Microsoft Azure’s translation service can automatically translate everything users type within Tallyfy.

  • What it translates: Process descriptions, task instructions, form answers, and comments - all user-generated content
  • How it works: You’ll need an API key from Microsoft Azure AI Services
  • Who sets it up: Your Tallyfy administrator connects Tallyfy to your company’s Azure account

  3. Find Azure Translation Services
  4. Enter your Azure API key and endpoint

Using content translation

Section titled “Using content translation”

Once Azure is connected:

  1. Click the language selector icon in the top menu bar
  2. Pick your language
  3. Browse Tallyfy - all user-written text automatically appears in your chosen language
  4. Translations happen in real-time as you move through tasks and processes

Tips for better translations

Section titled “Tips for better translations”
  • Write clearly - short, simple sentences translate far better than complex ones
  • Review important text - have a native speaker double-check automatic translations for critical information
  • Watch the jargon - company-specific terms might come out wrong in translation
  • Stay consistent - using the same terms throughout helps the AI produce consistent translations

Troubleshooting translation issues

Section titled “Troubleshooting translation issues”

Nothing happening? Here’s what to check:

  1. Verify your Azure API key is correct in Tallyfy settings and still active in Azure
  2. Confirm you’ve selected a language from the translation menu at the top
  3. Make sure Translation service is turned on in your Azure AI Services resource
