The numbers relate to the order the fields have been added. The placeholders relate to the fields dragged into the values section. In this example there are three placeholders identified by. The visual allows you to embed one or more values within the text, that are substituted by measures values. For detailed information in creating multi-language reports in Power BI, I would suggest consulting the github repository created by Microsoft's Ted Pattison. Please note that Translations in Tabular Models require Power BI Premium, Premium Per User, Azure Analysis Services, or SQL Server Analysis Services 2017 onwards. To enable this mode of operation, turn on the "Use Field Metadata" option in the Config section of the visual's formatting options. When browsing with the Power BI settings or browser language set to French, the result is: With this configuration in Tabular Editor, As we're just changing the metadata of the measure name, we're not having to execute any DAX to return the right text, so it's a lightweight operation. The result is that the text in the appropriate language is shown automatically according to the language settings. The advantage of this is that, using Tabular Editor ( version 2 - open source) ( version 3 - commercial product), translations can be provided for measure names in multiple languages. In this example, rather than displaying the measure value 1, instead the name of the measure is shown. The other use, is to display the name of the measure itself. This works with dates, numeric data or text. There are two modes of operation for using the visual, one is to simply display the value of a measure, in the same way as the Card visual does in Power BI.

Multi-Language Label is being submitted to AppSource and will be available directly within Power BI. This visual was developed by James Dales and is intended to provide the ability to display text using the built-in translation capability of Power BI. Custom visuals allow you to extend the capabilties of Power BI with additional visuals, not developed by Microsoft.
