Auto detect user language

[webportal]

Hello,

Is there a way to detect a user language?

In DAX, one may use USERNAME() to get the user name, is there anything equivalent (in DAX, M, or elsewhere) to get the user's language?

Thanks for helping!

Hey,

unfortunately this is not possible using DAX or M.

Maybe using python as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3425294/how-to-detect-the-os-default-language-in-python can solve your issue.

But, you have to check if this still will also work if the report gets published to the service.

Regards,

Tom

I'm more familiar with R...

Anyway, I find it interesting to read on MS documentation about the USERCULTURE() function here.

Although it doesn't exist on my Power BI Desktop.

Is there a trick or a workaround or something?
