Python script activated on Button

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

I have the following case:

I have a report that should display data based on user language. I planned to create a Python script that renames the labels.

I would like to have a button saying for example Spanish, and when the user clicks on this button, he activates Python script that translates the report into Spanish. 

Is such an option possible? Can I assign Python script to button?

Thanks,

Olga

Hi @Anonymous,

This would not be possible currently. The container for custom/R/Python visuals is sandboxed from the main DOM and can only receive data from the this outer DOM for processing inside its own container. These visuals aren't able to directly communicate back out with the main Power BI window, except for specific APIs such as slicer functionality (which I believe is only accessible via the TypeScript SDK). You could not for example, send localisation strings or a locale code back from this container to other visuals in your report for them to act upon.

The state of multi-lingual support in Power BI hasn't really improved. The following two videos are still the most flexible you can get at this time (although you have since been able to manage visual titles with DAX/conditional formatting):

• Curbal: Multilanguage Multilingual reports in Power BI (visual title could now be managed using DAX & conditional formatting)
• Adatis: Build an Automated Multilingual Product Dimension with Power BI Desktop 

Regards,

Daniel

Hi,

I have understood that multi language is not supported yet. 

But how about starting any other python script with a button in Power BI?

Does anyone know?
