API settings to return localized column names

Posted on by BE50 5
I am using Power Query to get data from BC. The user language is Danish.
 
This request return desired data. I can add filtering a.o. to the url:
OData.Feed(sUrl, null, [Implementation='2.0'])
By adding a header I can get localized (Danish) content:
OData.Feed(sUrl, null, [[Implementation='2.0'], Headers=[#'Accept-Language'='da-DK'])
Values are now in Danish (ex. 'køb' (purchase), 'faktura' (invoice),...) but field names (column names) remain the same.
I want to have 'Bogføringsdato' (not 'Posting_Date') , 'Beskrivelse' (not 'Description') so column names are the same as in the web interface.
 
How can this be done?

    Hi, I briefly tested French. It does have this problem, I'm not sure if it's a standard bug or not.
     
    Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.
     
    Thanks.

    Thank you YUN ZHU for testing this also. Here are the language differences when using chart of accounts (=kontoplan in Danish).

    In web ui: Danish column names, Danish content
     
    When exporting to Excel: Danish column names, Danish content
     
    When loading into Power Query without headers: No Danish.
     
    When loading into Power Query with Headers=[#"Accept-Language"="da-DK"]: System column names, Danish content.
     
    I have tried adding other headers with no success. Can it be done? Is it by design? Is it a bug? Or must I add a renaming step in PQ?
