SSAS MD Cube with Translations

 

Hi Guys,

 

I have a Dashboard that use SSAS MD as data source using live connection via enterprise Gateway. On our cube, we have captions in English with translation in French and German.

 

With Power BI Desktop the translation is working, for that I have to change the default Language of Windows and PowerBI Desktop.

When I deploy to PowerBI.com the Report is displayed with the language used during the deployment. But if I refresh the report using the button or by changing the selection the langue is always back to French!! (which is not the default language of my cube!!)

 

Does anyone have encountered the same issue?

How did you handle the multi-language with SSAS?

 

Thanks for your help !

    I reproduced your issue. I imported SSAS cube with French translation (Default is English). 



    When I deploy it onto power bi service first time, it's still displayed in French.


    Once I click "Refresh", it changes back to English again.



    We will report this issue internally.

        Hi v-sihou-msft Is it working now or should I not use translations when building my cube?
