Can't Change Language in Desktop Version
Hi,
I have a very annoying problem. I can't change the language used in Power BI Desktop from my native language to english. This issue first occured a couple of updates ago.
What's more annoying is that I can change the language on my other computer. On the other computer I can simply navigate to regional settings and change "application language". On the computer where I wan't to change it I do not even have that as an option.
Need some guidance here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Anonymous,
I think the system of your machine should not be Win 10, as only with the version of Power bi desktop that you get from Microsoft Store you could simply navigate to regional settings and change "application language". For the Desktop that installed by using online Power BI Desktop installer, it is not possible to change language directly as there is no such option in the Desktop. I suggest you to remove the original version, download and install an English version directly from here.
Regards,
Frank
