Show HN: BabelViz -Machine Translate Tableau Dashboards into over 150 Languages (babelviz.com)
3 points by celue 587 days ago
Hey HN!

I built BabelViz, a Tableau dashboard extension that translates dashboards automatically into over 150 languages.

The idea came from seeing global teams wrestle with static language solutions and relentless, frustrating tweaks. Tasks like duplicating workbooks, managing calculated fields, and regression testing (since Tableau updates could alter the underlying XML structure) made localization a serious challenge.

With BabelViz, translation is as simple as dragging and dropping the extension onto your dashboard. You get automatic translations, personalized language preferences that persist without users needing to change settings manually, and custom glossaries for translation overrides. This way, you retain translation control over specific terms to ensure accurate and consistent messaging for your audience. BabelViz also operates as a secure, on-premises solution for privacy and data security.

Would love to hear what you think, any feedback, or questions on this. https://babelviz.com
