Analysis Services Translation

[Anonymous]

Hello..

when I was using Powerview and Excel I was using BIDS helper to translate my model

and I use with my connection a Locale Idintefire  = "somenumber of my language"

and then it will pull the columns and measures translated as I put in BIDS Helper,,,

I don't know how to reflect that translation in Power BI...

if is it possible can anyone tell me how to do it with screenshots!

As mentioned in document, the translation feature is not supported when connectin SSAS multidimensional model. 

I have tested before. When connect multidimensional model in Power BI Desktop, it will take current system language to render the metadata in corresponding language. I may work if you apply Locale ID when openning connection. However, it's not supportd to edit the connection string within Power BI Desktop. So for your requirement, it can't be achieved in that way you expected.

Hi,

Juste to shar with you a point.

When using PBI Report Sever on premises, the live connection to SSAS load the correct language and we are also able to update the connection string after the report is publish to local server.

I did not check for PBI Services. I don't have an active access.

Thanks

Currently, PowerBI Service shows always English captions even there are translations in other languages.

This is happening with Live Connection on Multidimensional Model on Analysis Services.
