Tallyfy uses Microsoft Azure Translator to translate user-generated content - task descriptions, comments, form data - into your preferred language in real time. Setup takes about 15 minutes and requires three pieces of information from Azure: an API key, your resource name, and the region.
Resource Group - create a new group or select an existing one
Region - pick a region close to your users (note this down - you’ll need it for Tallyfy)
Name - enter a descriptive name for your resource (note this down too - this is your resource name)
Pricing Tier - the free tier includes 2 million characters per month
Click Review + create, then click Create after validation passes
Deployment takes 1-3 minutes. Click Go to resource when it’s done.
Step 4: Copy your API key
In your Translator resource, go to Keys and Endpoint in the left menu
Copy Key 1 or Key 2 (either works)
You now have the three values Tallyfy needs: the API key, the resource name (what you named your Translator resource), and the region you selected during creation.
Step 5: Configure Tallyfy
Sign in to Tallyfy as an administrator
Go to Settings > Integrations
Find the Azure Translation configuration
Enter your API key, resource name, and region
Click Save
Tallyfy automatically tests your credentials before saving. If the test fails, you’ll see an error message - double-check each field.
Step 6: Verify translation works
Look for the language picker in the top navigation bar (it appears once Azure is connected)
Select a different language
Open any process or task with text content
Content should translate within seconds
Managing costs
Azure charges by the character. The free tier covers 2 million characters monthly - roughly 400,000 words. Monitor usage in the Azure portal under your Translator resource, and set up spending alerts if you want to avoid surprises.
Troubleshooting
Translation not working? Here’s what to check:
Credentials - verify you entered the correct API key, resource name, and region (all three are required)
Key status - Azure keys can be regenerated, which invalidates the old one
Quota - check your Azure subscription hasn’t exceeded its character limit
Network - confirm your environment can reach Azure services (firewalls or security policies may block the connection)
Language pairs - translation quality varies by language combination, and specialized industry terms may not translate perfectly
Tallyfy offers UI language switching for menus and buttons plus Microsoft Azure AI-powered content translation that automatically translates user-generated text like task descriptions and comments in real-time after administrators connect their Azure API credentials.
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’s content translation feature uses Microsoft Azure AI to automatically translate user-generated text in real-time allowing multilingual teams to read workflows comments and form data in their preferred language while keeping the interface elements separate from content translation.
Tallyfy offers twelve distinct ways to connect with your existing business software — ranging from a full REST API and webhooks for developers to no-code middleware platforms like Zapier and Make for non-technical users — along with email integration and chat tools like Slack and upcoming BYO AI capabilities so every team can automate data sharing and eliminate manual copy-pasting between systems regardless of technical skill level.
