Hi everbody,
I am currently struggling with the problem how to localize reports for users with multiple languages.
Following scenario :
- Using PowerBI embedded
- Same reports shall be provided in English, German and potentielly other languages
How could I externalize label properties to provide localized values for different languages? This applies to text fiels, titles of visuals and category labels, Are there any documented best practices or hints? I was thinking about passing some locale information as part of the embedding url as parameter, but am struggling how I would manage language specific values within powerbi.
Thanks
Daniel
Looking for any guidance on the topic.

Hi @daniel12,
As per my knowledge, it is not possible to localize visual titles, text fields in reports by passing some locale information as part of the embedding URL as parameter, and there is no direct method to achieve this requirement in Power BI.
In your scenario, you can consider to utilize some translation tools/functions such as Microsoft Translator - Text Translation to make your source data to be in multiple languages format, then create reports with multiple languages. For more details, please review the following video.

Hellow @daniel12
I would like to know if you were able to make progress in multi language translation for embedded reports, and how you did it.
thank you
Hello Douglas,
not really. The only solution seems to be to to use custom titles/labels as much as possible on all visuals and avoid labels derived from the underlying data model. Then clone reports and translate them manually which is very cumbersome.

Even I would like to do the same thing, translating legends, titles in power bi embed from javascript.Passing the label as parameter from javascript and update the chart.please suggest.
Below is my piece of code.
var standardRptConfig = {
pageName: "R1",
filters: FiltersForStandardReports,
settings: {
filterPaneEnabled: false,
navContentPaneEnabled: false
}
};
var standardRptElement = document.getElementById('standardreport');
standardReport = powerbi.embed(standardRptElement, standardRptConfig);
