Latest Release of Power BI Desktop, March 2017 Release, can't change Language to English

Hi,

I'm Portuguese but I work for a UK company, all my co-workers have has first language English and our customers are all over the world.

Part of my work is Dashboard prototype and Power BI Desktop is a great tool to do that, but after upgrade my PBI Desktop to the latest release, March 2017... ops... all my menus are in Portuguese 😞

 

After some research, I'm not able to change the language to English...  

I've tried the following two options: 

- (Power BI Desktop): File > Options and Definitions > Options > Regional Definitions > Region > English (Europe);

- Change my Laptop Regional Setting, set the Home Location to UK > open a new Power BI Desktop File;

 

Both didn't work... I still have all my menus in Portuguese.... 😞

 

Am I missing something? or doing something wrong?

 

Many Thanks for your help, Luis

Hi @LuisQuedas,

 

The only way to change the language in Power BI Desktop is to go back to the download page and download it in a different language, and reinstall Power BI Desktop.

 

You have the option to select a language when you download Power BI Desktop.

For more details, you can refer to this article.Smiley Happy
