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.

It is a urgent topic because there is no other way to translate table, columns and measures names for multicountry applications.

Just received a request for this feature from a prospective (large) client. Lack of translation support may be a dealbreaker. Please add full SSAS translation support throughout Power BI. Thanks!

As Azure SSAS metadata translation are correctly supported on Excel, it appears something like a natural application of a common shared feature.
In addition, it would solve the problem of renaming tables and column without affecting all visuals references...

This is a big deal. Most companies have offices in global areas or customers in global areas. We need translations from SSAS to work for both on premise and AAS.
