Optimizing Dashboard maintenance for multiple language report variations?

Hi is there a way to streamline update text revisions for individual language dashboards?

For context my current process is that I have a master dashboard where I have all the languages translated via manual entry parameter and each design (visual) update is made on the single master instance. Unfortunately, during report distribution, I have to partition each report as a standalone dashboard to reflect each web page that is individualized by language.

My goal is to update (if a design change) one master dashboard once and be able to publish to the Power BI workspace without having to worry about updating a design change for 5+ other individualized dashboards or having to copy the master instance with a design change and replace the 5+ other dashboards and then filtering to each specific language.

 

Yes for the sake of user centric "experience" and not by choice we won't be able to have the web visitors select a dropdown according to their language even though this would be the easiest route.


So my question is if there is a tool to automate this maintenance nightmare or at the very least reduce the number of dashboards that require updates?

Hey @commercial_user ,

Maybe you can package your master dashboard and language-specific datasets as a Template App or Organizational Content Pack. Users can then install this app or content pack in their workspaces, ensuring that they always have the latest version of the master dashboard and translations.
