Hi,

We have multiple dashbords for multi-language users. We don't see any support/documents from Power bi to help with this. Does any one know what is the current situation of developing reports and dashboards with multilanguage support in Power BI?

What are best paractices to do this in Power BI? Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

Regards

Alternatively, this article shows how to Translate Text In Power BI Or Excel With Microsoft Translator Text API.

First, are you referring to actual Power BI dashboards or are you referring to Power BI reports?

Second, I'm not really aware of best practices around this. Are you more concerned about text on the dashboard/report or column names or both?

Thank you for your reply. I meant Power BI reports. We need to translate everything (Column headers, values, .....) I know that most of it has to be done on data model. I was just wondering if there's some documents from Microsoft, where Power BI would support this in some way or another. From your answer, I think there's no best practices for this kind of scenarios.
