cannot deserialize the current JSON object(e.g. {"Name":"value"}) in power bi translations builder
"Hello Power BI Community,
I've recently been tasked with translating several projects into different languages, and I'm utilizing the external tool within Power BI called Translations Builder (Version 2.2) for this purpose. However, I'm encountering an error message that says: "Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"Name":"value"})" within the Power BI Translations Builder tool.
Has anyone else experienced this issue before? If so, could you please provide some insights or guidance on how to resolve it?

Hi, HKteck
This issue is mainly due to the fact that you are deserializing JSON that is not in the expected format. You need to check if you have set a special format for JSON strings, and if you do, you can try changing them to the following two formats:
1. Array type, e.g. [1,2,3]
2. Convert to List[T] type
If you haven't set up these JSONs, you can re-set up and install this external tool as shown in the official documentation:TranslationsBuilder/Docs/Installation Guide.md at main · PowerBiDevCamp/TranslationsBuilder · GitHub
You can translate your report by following the official documents below:
