Hi @HANA,

 

Based on SAP HANA document, I haven't found any parameters which in the connection string to manage the language of data.
(I also research the power query functions and not find anything help)
In summary, I think currently power bi not support this feature.

@HANA; @Anonymous; Dear all,

 

Do you know if there is any change on this? I use sap in spanish so it will be very usefull if we can configure the language

 

Regards!

Hello,

There is parameter in sap hana, you have to configure It.
Go to : Security <user <user parameters.
Enter in parameter : LOCAL
Enter in value : 2 digit of the langage in small letters ( example fr for french )

Hope It will help.
