    Hi Anonymous ,

    If you want to use DAX function to achieve it, you need to create a Table including different months from different regions, and a Germany month column like this:

    Then you can create a calculated column in the source table to 'translate' the month column:

    Germany month translation =
IF (
    'Table'[Month] IN DISTINCT ( 'Month'[Germany month] ),
    [Month],
    LOOKUPVALUE ( 'Month'[Germany month], 'Month'[Month], 'Table'[Month] )
)

    Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

Unfortunately, there is no option or function in DAX to perform the translation as you desire but, you can try the Run Python Script option in Power Query under the transform tab to incorporate your Python code for translation.
