Hi @dk_dk ,

how did you test with other languages, can you please share the sample power bi file which you tested if possible?

I am wondering how power bi will automatically convert english to other language ..my underlying data is in english only

Hi @powerbiexpert22 

Apologies for the delayed response, the holiday season got me away from the computer for a bit.

My "test" was simply loading in data to Power BI that had japanese, chinese, korean characters, to confirm that those characters can display in a report correctly.

If you need to create a report in english but have the possibility for users to see it in other languages, you should look into using a tool like Translation Builder which I linked in my previous response. Unfortunately I do not have a sample pbix to share with you since I have not had to use translations myself yet, however it looks like it will help you achieve what you need based on the article.

Hi @powerbiexpert22 


I tested a few languages with non-latin alphabets and they display just fine.

In case your question was about having one report that shows in English for some users, and Japanese/Chinese/etc.. for some other users, have a look here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/translation-builder

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Daniel
