Implement into PowerBI & Tabluar & Excel Data Models support for multi language translations

[pbiideas1]

Yeah, I would accept a datacube of translated tables but ideally the ability to feed in a translations .json file for reference.

This would be a big improvement for our company!

How comes that when looking at Tabular we can import JSON translation files but not with Power BI, which uses the same object model? Please enable this asap Microsoft, my company really needs it!

What is Tabluar?

[martienroling1]

Essential to use the the translations in the tabular model in PowerBI using a live connection.

Ruth points out here that it appears that the physical column names (as opposed to an id or guid) are what's used to bind the model to visuals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJryD2dXVVw Changing this to instead bind on an id (and store the textual name elsewhere) seems like it could be an incredibly difficult change as it would be very deep in the core of Power BI. But what about this approach.....as we know, we can already change table and column names in the Power BI user interface and it works just fine. All that implementation works perfectly well. So, rather than making deep fundamental changes to bind on id's, why not just provide a simple API **to the very same code that the existing Power BI user interface calls today**? Would everything not then work exactly as it does today when a user manually calls it by right clicking and doing a rename? Example: var powerBI = new PowerBIApplication () ; var myModel = powerBI.OpenModel("c:\users\Jimbo\Desktop\AwesomeModel.pbix"); myModel.RenameTable("OldTableName", "NewTableName"); myModel.RenameColumn("TableName", "OldColumnName", "NewColumnName"); myModel.Save () ; myModel.Close () ; I can't think of a good reason why that wouldn't work.....am I overlooking something?

This is critical for multilingual support... Please give this feature high priority even for low vote numbers. So many global organizations that work for countries that use different languages need this feature URGENTLY especially with tabular models for on premise SSAS and AAS.

Duplicating reports is not a good workaround but only what we have. Please get translations working with SSAS on premise 2017 and AAS.
