Building Multi-language Reports in Power BI
summary
Power BI supports dataset-level internationalization so table/column/measure captions translate, but metadata translations require Premium and must be published to the service to test. A companion external tool, Translations Builder, connects to the Desktop model, calls Azure Translator for machine drafts, exports/imports CSV translation sheets and generates a hidden localized label table so report captions bind to measures. The session shows a working multi-language demo (English + Spanish + French + German), warns machine output needs human review, and uses the user culture DAX function and field parameters.
