Multilanguage column headers

Multilanguage column headers. For example: in US will be column headers in English and in CZ will be in Czech language... Some switching is possible by RLS, but for column headers?

May I suggest we take this one step further by borrowing a key idea from XBRL. Each column header could be linked to a metadata table keyed on: 1: the original name from the query; 2: the language identifier (suggest using ISO639 codes as default but allow others for internal use); 3: label type; and 4: label role Label type is either "Label" for text that appears as per the current situation; or "Documentation" for text that appears in a pop up box as you mouse over the "Label" text. This is the key to attaching user documentation to explain the purpose/meaning of the data in the reports so that it is always available and accessible to users because it's part of the report itself. Typical label roles would be: Standard label Short Label Verbose label

Absolutely necessary in international environments as well a multi-lingual countries (BE, CH, CA, ...)

I totally agree with this. Within my organisation I have to develop multiple dashboards. In the current situation I have to create a dashboard for each language. To me this issue is the biggest issue I have with Power BI. It would be helpful if headers could be linked to metadata or created by a formula.

Since this one doesn't have many votes (i can't understand why i haven't) does anyone have a workaround for this (that isn't multiple dashboards) ?

This functionality is highly important particularly for users from Africa where English is not widely spoken. Thanks

I would like Power Bi to make available only the children and youth having data quality issues and not all the individuals.

Portuguese language would help a lot the Portuguese speaking countries' people.

In the table visual, allow the opportunity to manage this by dragging a list of text measures onto a specific box of the Fields pane (below that of the Values one). This is absolutely a must have!!!!!!
