Hi Arnoh 

That’s correct — Power BI Q&A currently recognizes visual types only in English. The native language keywords (like Dutch terms kolomdiagram, staafdiagram, etc.) aren’t fully supported for creating visuals through Q&A.

Workarounds:

  1. Use the English visual names when asking Q&A to create visuals (e.g., “show sales by region as a column chart”).

  2. After the visual is created, you can rename titles, labels, and fields in your preferred language.

  3. You can also vote or submit feedback on the Power BI Ideas forum to request native-language support for visual types in Q&A:

Hopefully Microsoft will expand multilingual support for Q&A visuals in the future.
