How to use content translation
(Note: This feature requires an Administrator to set up the Azure Cognitive AI integration first.)
Once enabled, Tallyfy’s content translation feature automatically translates text written by users in real-time. This helps teams who speak different languages work together smoothly. It uses Microsoft Azure AI and is separate from the setting that changes Tallyfy’s menus and buttons (UI Language).
Content translation applies to text that people type into Tallyfy, such as:
- Descriptions and instructions in processes and tasks.
- Information entered into form fields.
- Comments added to tasks or processes.
- Text within attached documents (if the format is supported).
- Emails sent by Tallyfy related to processes.
Some things are not translated by this feature:
- Tallyfy’s interface (buttons, menus – use the separate UI Language setting for this).
- Standard system messages.
- The names you give to custom form fields (but the answers in the fields get translated).
If your organization has set up the Azure AI connection, you’ll see a language selector icon (like a globe) in the top menu bar of Tallyfy.
- Click the language selector icon.
- Choose the language you want to read the content in from the dropdown list.
- Tallyfy will immediately start showing user-written text translated into your selected language as you browse.
- In Templates: Descriptions and instructions will appear translated.
- In Tasks: Instructions, comments, and form field answers will appear translated. (When you type an answer or comment, it’s saved in your language but shown translated to others based on their language choice).
- In Reports: Text descriptions will be translated (but numbers, charts, and fixed labels stay the same).
Automatic translation works best when:
- The original text is written clearly and simply.
- Slang, complex jargon, or culturally specific phrases are avoided.
- Sentences are kept reasonably short.
- Important translated text is double-checked by a native speaker if possible.
You can change the language you see translations in at any time:
- Click the language selector icon in the top menu bar.
- Choose a different language.
- The content will refresh and show translations in the new language.
- Tallyfy remembers your choice for next time.
Content translation makes it easier to work with colleagues who speak different languages:
- Each person can choose their own preferred language to read content.
- Everyone sees the same information, just translated for them.
- Comments or form answers typed in one language will be translated for users viewing in another language.
- Numbers and dates always stay the same.
