Map language

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?
