Hi MartijnGreen ,

 

The language setting in Power BI Desktop consists of two parts: the language of the application and the model language.
For the model language settings (The language of the Power BI model cannot be changed after it is created)

  • In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options and Settings > Options.
  • Under "Global", select "Regional Settings".
  • In the "Model Language" box, select another language.

For more details, you can read related document.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

Hello v-henryk-mstf 

The model language is in Dutch, which is what I want. However, when restarting PowerBI desktop and creating a table the date hierarchy  is in English.

I do not get an error messege and since my pc country settings and language settings are in Dutch I wonder what I am missing.

    Hi any update on this thread?

     

    Same here, looks like something is changed within PowerBI Desktop itself.

    All of a sudden my new reports are being created with an English model instead of Dutch, which was always the case- no changes applied to this part!
