Multilingual reports with DirectQuery to SSAS

Hi everyone,

 

I am looking for a solution for creating multilingual reports while using DirectQuery to SSAS.
I have tried using the translations in SSAS and that worked (partly) in Power BI Desktop, 
but it did not work in Power BI Service.

 

Does anyone know a different solution (except for creating a separate report for each language)?

By the way; because we are using DirectQuery, we cannot use a solution using parameters.

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Martijn

Hi,  @Anonymous 

As a woraround, you can  try   Tabular Editor to add the translations of the metadata.
