Established best practice for implementing multi-lingual reports at the data level (e.g. names of calendar months) is to have one row per language for this data in the appropriate tables, with a Language ID column to filter the results according to the desired language. Yet Power BI enforces a single row per date in the designated Date table for a data model. These two concepts are currently irreconcilable. It should be possible to define multiple rows per date in the designated Date table, by introducing a mandatory and distinct Language ID against each row in that table. This would allow the use of Power BI's built-in time intelligence functions in conjunction with best practices regarding multilingual data.

Very important in my organization because both English and French are official languages.
