Hi, @sameer_K 

According to your description, I have an external tool called Translation builder:

Here's how to uninstall it:

Reopen the desktop:

The external tool was successfully uninstalled. Please note that if you have any reports that rely on translate, you will need to save them in advance to make sure that they have been converted and that they are not needed to function properly.

For reports that have had a translation builder, you can simply open and re-save them in Power BI desktop without translation builder to remove the translation builder from the semantic model.

To remove the Translation Builder from your Power BI file:

1. Delete Translations: In Power BI Desktop, go to Model view, and delete any translations set up.
2. Remove External Tool Settings: Ensure that any settings or configurations related to the Translation Builder in external tools are removed.
3. Refresh and Save: Refresh the model to clear any residual translation settings and save the file.

This should fully remove the Translation Builder from the PBIX and semantic model.
