Multilingual reports in Power BI

Hi all. I've been following this very nice tutorial on generating multi lingual reports in Power BI using Translation Builder. I'm translating from English to Arabic using the Azure AI translator. In the last step when I add "?langauge=ar-SA" in the report URL, my report does not open. 

 

My report is in a Premium Per User capacity. 

 

Anyone here who has tried this and can help me debug? 

 

Thanks!

I managed to get it work. Added ?language=ar-SA in the URL of the report in Power BI Service right after the "/ReportSection ..."

Hi  -  you're following the correct steps to implement multi-lingual reports in Power BI using Translation BuilderCross check once and make sure that the translations for the Arabic language (ar-SA) are properly configured and that the JSON file has been uploaded to Power BI.

You can cross check without adding the language parameter report you are able to open or not.If it loads, add the parameter back to see if the problem exists. ?language=ar-SA

Eg: 

Try to check and test with a different language parameter

Check if the PPU capacity has any specific settings or restrictions related to translations like supporting/configured correct to support on Multilingual report

 

Hope the above information, helps to identify and resolve the issue preventing your report from language parameter.

Thanks for the response. The report is rendering fine as is. I also tried with the english language parameter "?language=en-US" but I get the same error as with "?language=ar-SA" (see screenshot below).  

 

Regarding the JSON file, where can I find it and do I need to upload this manually?
