Field parameters are powerful , Can be used for RLS, It can also be used for dynamic switching of measures or fields （ PowerBI Field parameters ）, Can field parameters be used to make multilingual reports ？ First, let's take a look at how we want to make multilingual reports

Translation table

Before doing multi language statements , Need a translation form , Translate the fields that need to be translated , Suppose the following product dimensions exist

We need to translate the product name （ Because only the product table is translated here , So translation table and product table are used directly id relation ）

The relationship is as follows

The effect is as follows

Field parameters

The above translation table still has some limitations , For example, we need to translate the categories in the product table , The above table structure cannot be realized , You need to change the table structure , More trouble , So how to use field parameters to achieve this requirement ？

Many people must have thought of , Write the translation results into the product table

Create field parameters

Modify the field parameter table , Add language category

Just create category parameters with the same operation , Then there's the last step , Create a table of language categories , Then create a relationship with these two field parameter tables .

The effect is as follows

Of course, if you want to translate all the elements in the report , Such as the title 、 Icon 、 Description and so on , Both the translation table and the field parameters are limited , At this time, it is better to create reports separately .
