Currently language translation in SSAS is supported in Power BI Desktop. However, my clients are expecting multi-lingual support in Power BI service as well. Based on user's location setup in mobile / desktop / laptop, it should automatically change the dashboards and reports to local language if language translation was done in SSAS.

A multilanguage company serving multicultural end user audience with embedded reports this is a MUST feature. Lack of this feature can lead to selecting another platform.

RE: Provide language translation support present in SSAS to Power BI Service

I can appreciate that the corporation would like to move customers to newer and shinier technology, however not everyone has the ability to move at that pace or has the dollars to do so. The reports generated by our solution provide information in direct support of our province's most vulnerable. Where our province is legislated bilingual those reports must be in both official languages: French and English. We have adopted Power BI but if it cannot support live connection to our SSAS Datamart, then we will have no choice but to look for alternative BI reporting tools. Please support multilingualism for live connection to SSAS modeled data. Thank you.

With 35,000 plus employees and mandated bilingualism, this isn't simply a "Nice to Have" for us. This is a hard and fast requirement for us if Power BI is going to have a future with us

We had a Microsoft Support call one year ago. I cann tell who was present. They granted that the feature would have been delivered in 2019 (Q2 if I am not wrong). Still nothing....

RE: Provide language translation support present in SSAS to Power BI Service

if you use only 1 translation it works. So as far as I can see its only not working for multiple languages
