Working with a global team? You’ve got two ways to handle language barriers in Tallyfy:
UI Language: Switch the language of menus, buttons, and system messages
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

What it changes: Menus, buttons, system messages - the works

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):
Grab your API key and endpoint from Azure
Head to Settings > Integrations in Tallyfy
Look for Azure Translation Services
Plug in your Azure API key and details
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:
Click the language selector icon in the top menu bar (usually looks like a globe or flag)
Pick your language
Navigate around Tallyfy - all user-written text automatically appears in your chosen language
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:
Is your Azure API key correct in Tallyfy settings? Double-check it’s still active in Azure
Did you actually select a language from the translation menu at the top?
Make sure Translation service is turned on in your Azure Cognitive Services resource
