Hi.
Just curious because I have kind of the same challenge as you did.


I would like to create some PBI-embedded report where the users should be able to choose which language, they want to display the reports in.


We have created translations in SSAS and would like to use these translations depending on which language they choose in Power Bi embedded.


With your experience do you think this would be possible?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes this is definitely possible but you will need multiple versions of your report (one for each language).  Each report can be created to use the appropriate data translations from SSAS, but the dimension and measure names have to be set directly in the report for each language so they appear correctly in column headings etc. 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks,

Jon
