Create English Step Names Option in localized Power BI Query Editor
Localized Power BI Desktop creates local step names in query editor. There should be an option to choose: Create English Step Names to avoid confusion when Power BI is used in international environments. M language is English, DAX is English and step names should be English too.

- nishalitNew MemberI'm glad to report that this option is now available in the June Update of Power BI Desktop: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-june-update/ Option to generate Step Names in English Query Steps generated within the Query Editor dialog are by default localized to the “current installation language”. For instance, adding a Remove Columns step via the Query Editor would result in a new “RemovedColumns” step if using the English-US version of Power BI Desktop. A common area of feedback from many users is that this approach does not scale well when they share Power BI Desktop files with other users running different localized versions of the product and these users also make changes to their queries, as it results in a mix of languages in the Step names. In this update, we’re introducing a new option to “Always generate Step names in English”. Users can now control whether the Query Editor should automatically generate Step names in the current installation language (old behavior, and still the default behavior going forward), or lock it down so that step names are generated in English. This setting applies to all files created in the current machine. This option is available under “File -> Options -> Global” and it only shows up in non-English versions of Power BI Desktop (as it means no change in behavior for English versions).
- pbiideas1New MemberIt would be nice to see this option also in Power Query with English as a default.
- pedro8New MemberAgreed!
- aa6New MemberTotally agreeing, it's frustrating for beginner user to use and modify given scripts because you never know which step names / parts of code needs to be in finnish.
