Azure translation services

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.

Changing the UI language

This setting changes what you see in Tallyfy’s interface.

  • What it changes: Menus, buttons, and system messages
  • How to change it:
    1. Click Settings (bottom left)
    2. Go to My Account
    3. Find the Personalization section and pick your language from the dropdown
    4. Tallyfy updates instantly

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

Setting up the Azure translation connection

What you need

  • A Microsoft Azure account with Azure AI Services enabled
  • Your API key and endpoint from the Azure Translation service
  • Administrator permissions in Tallyfy

How administrators connect

The Azure setup guide has full details. Here’s the overview:

  1. Get your API key and endpoint from Azure
  2. Go to Settings > Integrations in Tallyfy
  3. Find Azure Translation Services
  4. Enter your Azure API key and endpoint
  5. Save

Done. A language selector appears at the top of Tallyfy for everyone.

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

  • 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

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
