Hi Zenita,

 

From above screenshot, it looks like your desktop is English version indeed.

So, per my understanding, the displayed name in map visual is dertermined by your geographically location. Could you check whether your colleagues encounter the same problem?

Hi,

 

I tested with one colleague. She sees the continent names in English.

 

So, what am I doing wrong?

 

I am keeping my fingers crossed for a good tip. :smileyfrustrated:

    Hi Zenita,

     

    Unfortunately, I didn't find the cause to this problem and I was unable to reproduce this problem in my environment. If you have a Pro license, you could create a support ticket for free to get more advice.

      Hello,

       

      Just as info - I have the same problem. I also tried to change language and location in all possible places, and on bing.com as well (as proposed above) but it didn't help. Would be nice if this could be resolved somehow.

       

      Thanks.
