Hi Palak,

Welcome to the Quick Sight Community.

Regarding internationalization and localization you may find language and interface elements supported in Quicksight documentation link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/choosing-a-language-in-quicksight.html

It will further help if you can share your more specific requirements. In embed experience you can configure locale using javascript content option https://developer.quicksight.aws/embedSample/custom

            const contentOptions = {
                locale: "ja-JP", // YOUR LOCALE HERE
            };

One common best practice I see many users adopting is timezone adjustment by storing calculated fields for timezone offsets, and converting timezones from UTC as mentioned in following community article: https://community.amazonquicksight.com/t/time-zone-adjustments/652

Hi Palak,

I also have this question but need to support the embedded dashboard in different languages based on the end-users locale. Currently I support both an English and French version of the same dashboard and switch between them programatically based on the end-users locale. I will soon need to add Spanish and possibly Portuguese so this approach is starting to get untenable. Are there any plans to help with this use case?

Thanks!
