Scheduled Reports Export in the Wrong Language

If your scheduled reports sometimes export with mixed or incorrect language (for example, switching from Finnish to English), it’s usually tied to the report owner’s language settings at the time the report runs.

 

When a scheduled report is generated, it uses the language defined in the profile of the user who owns the report—not a fixed language setting within the report itself. If that user’s language changes (or is different from what you expect), the exported file (like Excel) may include column titles in another language, which can lead to errors.

 

To keep the report language consistent:

Check who owns the scheduled report

Ask that user to set their profile language to the desired language (e.g., Finnish)

Make sure their language stays set correctly, especially around the scheduled run time

 

If this is happening often, a more stable setup is to use a dedicated user for scheduled reports:

Create a user specifically for managing scheduled reports

Set their language to the required language (e.g., Finnish)

Transfer ownership of the scheduled reports to this user

 

This way, the report will always generate using the same language, avoiding unexpected changes in your exports.
