    Hi daniel12,

    As per my knowledge, it is not possible to localize visual titles, text fields in reports by passing some locale information as part of the embedding URL as parameter, and there is no direct method to achieve this requirement in Power BI.

    In your scenario, you can consider to utilize some translation tools/functions such as Microsoft Translator - Text Translation to make your source data to be in multiple languages format, then create reports with multiple languages. For more details, please review the following video.

Hello Douglas,

 

not really. The only solution seems to be to to use custom titles/labels as much as possible on all visuals and avoid labels derived from the underlying data model. Then clone reports and translate them manually which is very cumbersome.

Even I would like to do the same thing, translating legends, titles in power bi embed from javascript.Passing the label as parameter from javascript and update the chart.please suggest.

 

Below is my piece of code.

 

var standardRptConfig = {
pageName: "R1",
filters: FiltersForStandardReports,
settings: {
filterPaneEnabled: false,
navContentPaneEnabled: false
}
};
var standardRptElement = document.getElementById('standardreport');
standardReport = powerbi.embed(standardRptElement, standardRptConfig);
