    The Power BI Analysis Services Connector should support changing the connection string, so we can add special parameters (such as changing the language).

    The desktop have support multi-language when the datasource is analysis services, but the services still dont support. This is a import feature.

    Any news please? We have developed Analysis Services OLAP Cubes with metadata and data translation and only Excel works as expected...

    It seems that Power BI is already sending the LocaleIdentifier as part of the live connection, but it always has value 1033 (en-US), regardless of which language has been chosen for the UI in PowerBI.com, or which language the browser/OS is using.

    Ideally, the connector should use the LocaleIdentifier corresponding to the UI language of Power BI, or at least provide an option to customize this in the data source, as suggested by Marco.

    This is a must here. Can't understand why it's not supported when it is in Power BI desktop.
