How to use content translation
(Note: This feature requires Administrator setup of the Azure Cognitive AI integration first.)
Tallyfy’s content translation automatically translates user-generated text in real-time using Microsoft Azure AI. Each team member reads content in their preferred language - across 100+ supported languages.
This works separately from the UI language setting, which controls buttons and menus. Content translation handles the text your team actually writes - descriptions, comments, and form field answers.
Content translation covers visible text that you and your team create:
- Descriptions and instructions in templates and tasks.
- Information entered into form fields.
- Comments added to tasks or processes.
- Tallyfy’s interface elements - use the separate UI language setting for those.
- Standard system messages.
- Form field labels (but the answers in those fields do get translated).
Once your organization has the Azure AI connection configured, you’ll see a globe icon in Tallyfy’s top menu bar. The globe animates when translation is actively processing.
- Click the globe icon in the top menu bar.

- In the Content Language section, click Edit and choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
- Save your selection. Tallyfy translates visible text on screen as you browse.
- In templates: Descriptions and instructions display in your chosen language.
- In tasks: Instructions, comments, and form field answers show up translated. Text you enter is saved in your language but appears translated to others based on their preference.
- In reports: Text descriptions get translated. Numbers, charts, and fixed labels stay unchanged.
- Write original text clearly and keep sentences short.
- Avoid slang, jargon, or culturally specific phrases.
- Have a native speaker review important translated content when possible.
- Click the globe icon in the top menu bar.
- Choose a different language and save.
- Content refreshes with translations in the new language. Tallyfy remembers your choice.
To turn off translation, select No Translation from the content language dropdown.
- Each person picks their preferred reading language independently.
- Everyone sees the same information - just translated for them.
- Comments or form answers typed in one language appear translated automatically for users with a different language preference.
- Numbers and dates stay consistent across all languages.
