Translate to arabic by calculated column based on another table

Hi, 

 

I have table dim_language contain two rows:

 

Lang_Key        Lang_Name

 

     1                  English 

     2                  Arabic

 

In another table dim_field (without relationship with the first dim_language)  i have the next columns:

 

Field_Name_key      Field_name_English        Field_Name_arabic

    1                                 math                          ?????

    2                                 english                       !!!!

    3                                  history                       ######

   

I created the next measure:

Lang_Flag = if(calculate (SELECTEDVALUE(Dim_Language[Lang_Key])) =11, 2)
 
then I created the next calulated column in dim_Field:
 
Field_Name_Dynamic = if([Lang_Flag] ==1, dim_Field[Field_name_English] , dim_Field[Field_Name_arabic])
for the change the displayed contect in the report.
I want every the value of Lang_Flag is changed the contect in  Field_Name_Dynamic  as well.
 
The result show that the value of meature is changeed by the change slicer, but the contect from Field_Name_Dynamic is not.
Why? 
How I fix the Problem ?
 
 
Thanks, Barak

Hi @Anonymous 

calculated columns do not interact with the filter context. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
