    We need the Powerbi Service to handle translations from a SSAS Tabular using Live Connection. the functionality is already in SSAS, however it doesn't work when the tabular model is published to the Power BI service using live connection.

    It has been working, (although not supported)

    I confirm that translations are important not just for providing usability across multiple countries, but also for changing the name of metadata columns and measures without having to change everything (tabular model, dax formulas...). Please carry on with this idea..

    Is there any progress in adding translation options in Power BI? And also add the possibility to Power BI Embedded?

    I tested this with Power BI deskptop September 2019 connecting to SSAS 2016. The columns are translated as expected, but table names are ignored. Still looking for a solution to also change the tables names based on the locale settings of the user.

    The strange thing is; With a matrix my translation is working but with a table it isn't
