Tallyfy uses Microsoft Azure Translator to translate user-generated content - task descriptions, comments, form data - into your preferred language in real time. Setup takes about 15 minutes and requires three pieces of information from Azure: an API key, your resource name, and the region.
Resource Group - create a new group or select an existing one
Region - pick a region close to your users (note this down - you’ll need it for Tallyfy)
Name - enter a descriptive name for your resource (note this down too - this is your resource name)
Pricing Tier - the free tier includes 2 million characters per month
Click Review + create, then click Create after validation passes
Deployment takes 1-3 minutes. Click Go to resource when it’s done.
Step 4: Copy your API key
In your Translator resource, go to Keys and Endpoint in the left menu
Copy Key 1 or Key 2 (either works)
You now have the three values Tallyfy needs: the API key, the resource name (what you named your Translator resource), and the region you selected during creation.
Step 5: Configure Tallyfy
Sign in to Tallyfy as an administrator
Go to Settings > Integrations
Find the Azure Translation configuration
Enter your API key, resource name, and region
Click Save
Tallyfy automatically tests your credentials before saving. If the test fails, you’ll see an error message - double-check each field.
Step 6: Verify translation works
Look for the language picker in the top navigation bar (it appears once Azure is connected)
Select a different language
Open any process or task with text content
Content should translate within seconds
Managing costs
Azure charges by the character. The free tier covers 2 million characters monthly - roughly 400,000 words. Monitor usage in the Azure portal under your Translator resource, and set up spending alerts if you want to avoid surprises.
Troubleshooting
Translation not working? Here’s what to check:
Credentials - verify you entered the correct API key, resource name, and region (all three are required)
Key status - Azure keys can be regenerated, which invalidates the old one
Quota - check your Azure subscription hasn’t exceeded its character limit
Network - confirm your environment can reach Azure services (firewalls or security policies may block the connection)
Language pairs - translation quality varies by language combination, and specialized industry terms may not translate perfectly
