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, everything

Here’s the thing - if you’re operating internationally, you need to know about global workplace language requirements. Many countries actually require translating employee documentation (think SOPs, policies, training materials) into local languages.

Changing the UI Language

Want Tallyfy in your preferred language? This setting changes what you see in the interface.

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

Translating Content with Azure AI

This is where it gets interesting. Microsoft Azure’s translation service can automatically translate everything users type within Tallyfy.

  • What it translates: Process descriptions, task instructions, form answers, comments - pretty much all user-generated content
  • How it works: You’ll need an API key from Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services (yes, there’s some setup involved)
  • Who sets it up: Your Tallyfy Admin connects Tallyfy to your company’s Azure account

Setting up the Azure Translation connection (Admin task)

What you need

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

How administrators connect

(The Azure setup guide has all the details, but here’s what you’re looking at):

  1. Grab your API key and endpoint from Azure
  2. Head to Settings > Integrations in Tallyfy
  3. Look for Azure Translation Services
  4. Plug in your Azure API key and details
  5. Hit save

Done. You’ll see a language selector appear at the top of Tallyfy for everyone.

Using content translation for all users

Once Azure’s hooked up, it’s simple:

  1. Click the language selector icon in the top menu bar (usually looks like a globe or flag)
  2. Pick your language
  3. Navigate around Tallyfy - all user-written text automatically appears in your chosen language
  4. Translations happen in real-time as you click through tasks and processes

Tips for Better Translations

  • Write clearly: Short, simple sentences translate way better than complex ones
  • Review important text: Got critical information? Have a native speaker double-check those automatic translations
  • Watch the jargon: Your company’s specific terms might come out weird in translation
  • Stay consistent: Use the same terms throughout - it helps the AI keep translations consistent too

Troubleshooting Translation Issues

Nothing happening? Here’s what to check:

  1. Is your Azure API key correct in Tallyfy settings? Double-check it’s still active in Azure
  2. Did you actually select a language from the translation menu at the top?
  3. Make sure Translation service is turned on in your Azure Cognitive Services resource
  4. Still stuck? Time to contact Tallyfy support
