Content translation

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 the text your team actually writes: descriptions, comments, and form field answers.

What gets translated

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.

What stays in the original language

  • 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).

How to set up your content language

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.

  1. Click the globe icon in the top menu bar. Tallyfy content translation menu in the top bar
  2. In the Content Language section, click Edit and choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
  3. Save your selection. Tallyfy translates visible text on screen as you browse.

Where translations appear

  • 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 don’t change.

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

  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

  • 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.
