Translated slicer options

I am currently building a multilanguage report with the help of the Microsoft guidelines (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/data-translation-implement-field).

 

I am struggling with getting the translated options to show when using a filter. It only shows me Product or Produkt as options in the "Product Names" slicer but I need Apples, Carrots and so on (if Language is English) or Äpfel, Karotten and so on (if Language is German/Deutsch).

 

Language = English

Language = Deutsch (German)

Can anybody help?

I figured it out after carefully reading the documentation (https://github.com/PowerBiDevCamp/TranslationsBuilder/blob/main/Labs/Hands-on%20Lab%20-%20Building%2...)

 

You have to right click on the slicer column and select "Show values of selected field":

Now it's showing the desired result:

Hi @GSE 

I don't have any experience with working with translated languages.

What I will say is looking at the model it feels like there should be a join from Translated name to you Dim table.

Maybe using the DIMID
