My system and Power BI desktop language are English, while the map language is displayed in Chinese. How can I change it to English?
Hi @StarrYu ,
The language of the map visuals in Power BI Desktop is set from the OS itself. So for Windows, you can change the language by going to Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Windows Display Language:
Supported languages and countries/regions for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
And I can't reproduce your problem when tested it with different version of Power BI Desktop. What's the version of your Power BI Desktop? Whether your colleague face the same problem as yours?
Best Regards
