Hi JakubG - The issue with workspace or application language not fully changing after selecting a new language in Power BI might be related to one or more of the following causes

Ensure that affected users have the necessary roles or permissions to make such changes. This can typically be set in the workspace settings.

 

Clear cookies, browser cache, and history again. Test with incognito mode or another browser.

Ask users to verify their Power BI Service Settings:

  • Go to Settings > General > Language Settings in the Power BI portal.
  • Select "Use my browser's language" or specify a desired language directly.

 

Ensure the browser's language settings are set to the preferred language. For example:

  • In Chrome: Go to Settings > Language and move the desired language to the top of the list.
  • In Edge: Go to Settings > Languages and set the preferred language as default.

Verify the tenant's default language settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center or Power BI admin portal.

Hello rajendraongole1,

I have tried both your points but still no changes. Default languages in Microsoft 365 admin center are set differently by users locations, but still this should nothing to do with language set ( User in Germany can speak English ).

When I changed the rights of my personal account to the same as users ( Power BI Pro licence, no workspace role and access to Power BI Application audience ) I was able to change my language with no issues.


Any other idea for this ?

Thank you.
