Use TallyPrime in Your Preferred Language

Error & Resolution/Q&A

In business today, overcoming language barriers is crucial for success. TallyPrime enables multi-language accounting, allowing you to enter, display, and print data in different languages. This facilitates better communication with customers and stakeholders, enhancing business operations. Currently, TallyPrime supports Arabic and Bangla languages for display.

Change Display Language: You can instantly change the display language of TallyPrime to Arabic or Bangla. All the labels and messages in TallyPrime including the data entry language will instantly change to the chosen language, making it easy for you. In a multi-user environment, while you use TallyPrime in Arabic or Bangla display, others can continue to use it in English at any point in time without losing out on any work.

View and Print Invoices and Reports in your preferred language: You can continue printing your invoices in Arabic or Bilingual with numbers in Arabic notation and print the amount in words in Arabic in the correct representation of the numerical value. Additionally, you now have the option to print your invoices and reports in Bangla or Arabic by including language aliases at the time of creating the masters. You can also include language aliases for your existing masters.

Change Data Entry Language: With the existing capability of entering your data in regional languages, you can now enter data in Arabic too without changing the display using the System keyboard. You need to install the Arabic system keyboard to enter the data in Arabic. All the masters can be created in Arabic and you can use these masters while recording transactions, ensuring accurate VAT calculation.

 To add your preferred language and download the relevant dictionary, you must have an internet connection and a valid license. You can also add language if you are in educational mode and do not have an active license.

Change the Display Language

If you want to view TallyPrime in Arabic or Bangla, all you need to do is add the language and the relevant dictionary gets downloaded. Once the dictionary is downloaded, the product display changes to the selected language. If you are a new user, you will initially see only the default English dictionary until you add your preferred language. However, if you are an existing user with an existing dictionary, and you have added your preferred language then both of your dictionaries will co-exist. Once you add your preferred language, TallyPrime will prioritise the newly added dictionary over your previous one.

Add your preferred language

If you have an active license, then you can add your preferred language directly from Select Company or Gateway of Tally and change the display of TallyPrime in your preferred language. Once you change the display language, your data entry language also changes to your preferred language. If your display language is Arabic, then your data entry language will continue to be in English unless you install the Arabic System Keyboard. You can see all the labels of TallyPrime in your preferred language but your existing data will continue to appear in English.
