power bi map chart language

Hi!

Please tell me, how to switch language of address objects on the map chart. For example, in the Internet Browser on Bing Maps I see streets in russian, but in Power BI Desktop (russian version) on the map chart I see these in English (I need in russian).

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi @AlexStep,

I make a test using the Russian version of Power BI Desktop, and I can reproduce your issue that the Bing Map only provides English objects in Power BI Desktop, Currently, it is impossible to switch language of address objects on the map visual.

However, some ideas about localizing Map visualization in Power BI Desktop have been submitted in the following links, please vote them up.
