Passing language while embedding the report

Varun — Wed, 28 Dec 2016 06:17:18 GMT

I have to embed a powerbi report on a web page which I need to share with multiple users in different countries. I need the embedded report to be in their local language.

Is there any language parameter which I can pass to my embedded powerbi report on a web page?

AKAIK, there's no such language parameter. If you're talking about the measure names, data columns names etc, then create individual reports in different languages and embed them accordingly.

We are supporting 20+ languages and 20+ reports. And, in that case, we would have to create 400+ reports, which would take too much time. And, if there is a minor change, modify that report for each language and republish again.

Isn't there any other option?

That requirement sound reasonable. You can submit your idea at Power BI Ideas and vote it up.
