Synchronizing Language Settings Between Dynamics CRM and Embedded Power BI Reports

Posted on by Anwarluck

Hello everyone,

I have embedded a multi-language Power BI dashboard within Dynamics CRM, and both systems support multiple languages. I want to ensure that when a user changes their language preference in Dynamics CRM, the language setting is also reflected in the embedded Power BI report.

I know that Power BI supports language parameters for handling translations, but I'm unsure how to dynamically pass the user's language preference from Dynamics CRM to Power BI.

Could anyone provide guidance or examples on how to achieve this synchronization? Specifically, I'm looking for:

How to retrieve the user's language preference from Dynamics CRM.
How to pass this language parameter to the embedded Power BI report so that the report language changes accordingly.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

You can retrieve the user's language preference from Dynamics CRM using the UserSettings entity. Then, pass this language parameter to the embedded Power BI report by appending it to the URL or using Power BI’s JavaScript API to dynamically set the language. This way, the language setting will synchronize between both systems.

Hi,

I'm in the same situation.

Did you get any solution?

What I found from Power BI is that the way to use language is by using Power BI API as documented below

https://github.com/PowerBiDevCamp/TranslationsBuilder/blob/main/Docs/Building%20Multi-language%20Reports%20in%20Power%20BI.md#embedding-reports-that-implement-data-translations

I tried to create a webresource using the power bi API, but it's not loading the report.

Please, let me know if you had any progress in your work.

It might help me.

Thank you.
