Translate regional language into English from a column

[Soumya_Vinod]

Hi,

I have a column which captures data in Regional Languages in the DB. How do I convert this into English?

Note: Replacing the text or creating a conditional coulmn is not an option.

Please find the screenshot and the attachment.

Hi @Soumya_Vinod ,

Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to implement in Power BI currently. You can post your new idea here https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas , to improve the Power BI.

It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

There is a clumsy workaround you may considerate. You can copy and paste this column into excel, translate this column to English language using google translate tool separately ,then import the this two columns into Power BI Desktop to create new table using "Enter Data" option under Home ribbon, let's call the new created table Table1. Then you can create relationship between the original table and this new created table Table1 on original column. Once you need to use the translated column, you can use RELATED function.

Best Regards,

Amy
