Content translation

Use content translation in Tallyfy

Section titled “Use content translation in Tallyfy”

(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.

It’s separate from the UI language setting, which controls buttons and menus. Content translation handles text your team writes into templates and tasks, such as task titles, task descriptions and form field labels.

What gets translated

Section titled “What gets translated”

Content translation covers visible text that you and your team create:

  • Task titles and task descriptions.
  • Form field labels and their guidance text.
  • The text of a template or process when you read it as a document.

What stays in the original language

Section titled “What stays in the original language”
  • Comments added to tasks or processes.
  • Answers people type into form fields.
  • Tallyfy’s interface elements. Use the separate UI language setting for those.
  • Standard system messages.

How to set up your content language

Section titled “How to set up your content language”

Everyone sees a globe icon in Tallyfy’s top menu bar. Once your organization has the Azure AI connection configured, its Content Language section lets you pick a language. The globe animates when translation is actively processing.

  1. Click the globe icon in the top menu bar. The Tallyfy language menu, showing App language set to English and Content language showing as not enabled.
  2. In the Content Language section, click Edit and choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
  3. Click Save. Tallyfy translates visible text on screen as you browse.

Where translations appear

Section titled “Where translations appear”
  • In templates: The template’s text displays in your chosen language when you view it as a document.
  • In processes: The process text displays in your chosen language when you view it as a document.
  • In tasks: Task titles, task descriptions, form field labels and field guidance show up translated. Comments and the answers typed into form fields stay as written. A task title or description you write is saved in your language but appears translated to others based on their preference.

Tips for better translations

Section titled “Tips for better translations”
  • 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.

Switching languages

Section titled “Switching languages”
  1. Click the globe icon in the top menu bar.
  2. Choose a different language and save.
  3. Content refreshes with translations in the new language. Tallyfy remembers your choice.

To turn off translation, select No Translation from the content language dropdown.

How it works for multilingual teams

Section titled “How it works for multilingual teams”
  • Each person picks their preferred reading language independently.
  • Everyone sees the same information, just translated for them.
  • Task titles and descriptions written in one language appear translated for users with a different language preference. Comments and form answers stay in the language they were typed in.
  • Numbers and dates stay consistent across all languages.
