Azure Translation Services

Translation Capabilities in Tallyfy

Tallyfy offers two distinct translation capabilities to support global teams:

  1. UI Translation - Interface language options that change the Tallyfy platform navigation and controls
  2. Content Translation - Real-time translation of user-generated content using Azure Cognitive AI

UI Translation

UI Translation changes the language of Tallyfy’s interface elements, including:

  • Navigation menus
  • Button labels
  • System messages
  • Form field labels
  • Standard text elements

To change the UI language:

  1. Click on Settings in the sidebar
  2. Go to My Account
  3. Under Personalization, select your preferred language from the dropdown menu
  4. The interface will immediately update to reflect your language selection

Content Translation with Azure Cognitive AI

Content Translation uses Azure’s advanced AI translation services to dynamically translate user-generated content in real-time, including:

  • Process descriptions
  • Task instructions
  • Form field content
  • Comments and discussions
  • Documents and attachments

This capability requires an Azure Cognitive Services API key and integration setup.

Setting Up Azure Translation Integration

Requirements

  • An Azure account with access to Cognitive Services
  • An Azure Cognitive Services API key with Translation services enabled
  • Administrator access to your Tallyfy organization

Integration Steps

  1. Log in to your Azure portal and create or access a Cognitive Services resource
  2. Obtain your Translation service API key and endpoint
  3. In Tallyfy, navigate to Settings > Integration
  4. Find the Azure Translation Services tile
  5. Enter your Azure API key in the designated field
  6. Save your configuration

Once activated, a language selection menu will appear in the top navigation bar of Tallyfy, allowing users to select their preferred language for content translation.

Using Content Translation

After the Azure integration is configured:

  1. Click the language selector in the top navigation menu
  2. Choose your preferred language from the available options
  3. All user-generated content will be automatically translated to your selected language
  4. Translation occurs in real-time as you browse through different content

The translation happens within a few moments as you navigate through content in Tallyfy.

Best Practices

  • Maintain clear source content: Simple, clear writing translates more accurately
  • Review important translations: For critical content, have a native speaker verify translations
  • Be aware of context: Some technical terms or industry jargon may translate differently based on context
  • Use consistent terminology: Consistent use of terms improves translation quality

Troubleshooting

If content is not translating correctly:

  1. Verify your Azure API key is active and has sufficient quota
  2. Check that you’ve selected a language in the translation menu
  3. Ensure your Azure Cognitive Services includes the Translation API feature
  4. Contact Tallyfy support if issues persist
