Tallyfy’s content translation automatically translates user-generated text in real-time using Microsoft Azure AI. Each team member reads content in their preferred language - across 100+ supported languages.
This works separately from the UI language setting, which controls buttons and menus. Content translation handles the text your team actually writes - descriptions, comments, and form field answers.
What gets translated
Content translation covers visible text that you and your team create:
Descriptions and instructions in templates and tasks.
Information entered into form fields.
Comments added to tasks or processes.
What stays in the original language
Tallyfy’s interface elements - use the separate UI language setting for those.
Standard system messages.
Form field labels (but the answers in those fields do get translated).
How to set up your content language
Once your organization has the Azure AI connection configured, you’ll see a globe icon in Tallyfy’s top menu bar. The globe animates when translation is actively processing.
Click the globe icon in the top menu bar.
In the Content Language section, click Edit and choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
Save your selection. Tallyfy translates visible text on screen as you browse.
Where translations appear
In templates: Descriptions and instructions display in your chosen language.
In tasks: Instructions, comments, and form field answers show up translated. Text you enter is saved in your language but appears translated to others based on their preference.
In reports: Text descriptions get translated. Numbers, charts, and fixed labels stay unchanged.
Tips for better translations
Write original text clearly and keep sentences short.
Avoid slang, jargon, or culturally specific phrases.
Have a native speaker review important translated content when possible.
Switching languages
Click the globe icon in the top menu bar.
Choose a different language and save.
Content refreshes with translations in the new language. Tallyfy remembers your choice.
To turn off translation, select No Translation from the content language dropdown.
How it works for multilingual teams
Each person picks their preferred reading language independently.
Everyone sees the same information - just translated for them.
Comments or form answers typed in one language appear translated automatically for users with a different language preference.
Numbers and dates stay consistent across all languages.
Tallyfy offers two ways to handle multilingual teams: switching the interface language through personal account settings and enabling real-time AI-powered content translation of task descriptions and comments and form answers by connecting a Microsoft Azure Translation API key through the admin integrations panel.
Tallyfy supports interface language switching and Azure AI-powered content translation for multilingual teams. Administrators can connect Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services for real-time translation of user-generated content across 100+ languages.
Tallyfy integrates with Microsoft Azure Translator to provide real-time translation of task descriptions and comments and form data into any preferred language by connecting an Azure API key along with a resource name and region through the Tallyfy admin settings in about 15 minutes.
Many countries enforce strict rules requiring workplace documents like contracts and SOPs in local languages—such as France and Quebec mandating French and the UAE requiring Arabic—while others like Australia and the UK have no translation laws and Tallyfy addresses this through Azure AI-powered translation of workflow content into 100+ languages to help global organizations stay compliant across jurisdictions.
