Hi, ENOVA ;

this is expected behavior:

The reason is this:

  • subscriptions are executed by the Power BI service as a background job, using the owner's locale.
  • The owner locale is the one specified in the settings as one of the 44 currently supported languages: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/supported-languages-countries-regions
  • When language=(browser default) is selected, the backend cannot use the browser value because browser may have other/different sets of supported languages. As a consequence, the backend will set the user setting to default, which is American English.

And refer the following article:
