Expand your revenue potential by offering multilingual dashboard options for your monetized or embedded Tableau visualizations

By Pat

Providing data insights in multiple languages is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. With BabelViz, you can easily translate your monetized or embedded Tableau dashboards, opening up new revenue streams and enhancing customer engagement across linguistic barriers.

Tableau is a powerful tool for data visualization, but its native language support is limited. This is where BabelViz steps in, offering a seamless solution to machine translate your dashboards into multiple languages, ensuring your analytics reach a global audience effectively.

Why Offer Multilingual Tableau Dashboards?

Let's explore the benefits of providing multilingual options for your monetized or embedded Tableau visualizations:

Before we dive deeper, let's consider the potential impact of offering multilingual dashboards. You can start by analyzing your current user base and identifying opportunities for expansion into new markets.

Once you've identified the potential for growth, there are two main approaches to implementing multilingual Tableau dashboards:

• Manual translation and creation of separate workbooks for each language.
• Use BabelViz, a specialized tool that automates the translation process for Tableau dashboards. BabelViz uses advanced algorithms to accurately machine translate your visualizations while preserving the integrity of your data. It seamlessly integrates with your existing Tableau workflow, allowing you to offer multilingual options without the need for manual translations or separate workbook versions.

Option 1 — Manual Translation

How to Manually Create Multilingual Tableau Dashboards

Identify text elements - List all text elements in your dashboard that need translation.

Translate content - Use professional translation services or in-house linguists to translate the content.

Create language-specific versions - Duplicate your workbooks and replace text with translated versions.

Test and refine - Thoroughly test each language version to ensure accuracy and proper formatting.

Obligatory ongoing maintenance - Implement rigorous regression testing on a monthly basis. As Tableau pushes updates, you must review every single workbook and confirm the XML is intact and your calculations still work. Every single workbook and calculation must be checked for accuracy as they may break.

All the above can be time-consuming and challenging if not impossible to maintain, especially for dashboards with frequent updates or multiple language requirements. Furthermore, it will eventually break when Tableau's XML structure changes.

Option 2 — Using BabelViz
