# "Locale is not supported" Warning
13+
14+
You may encounter the warning message:
15+
16+
```
17+
The XXXX locale is not supported
18+
```
19+
in the Tabular Editor 3 Message view
20+
21+
This issue usually occurs when your local machine uses a **regional configuration not supported by the Analysis Services (SSAS) engine**.
22+
In most cases, the error is triggered by another underlying issue or warning, but this message is shown as a result.

## Scenarios and Solutions
27+
28+
### 1. Connecting to a Local SSAS Instance
29+
If you are running SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) locally on your machine:
30+
- **Solution:** Change the **service account** used by the SSAS instance.
31+
Updating the account often resolves unsupported locale mismatches.
32+

34+
35+
### 2. Connecting to a Remote SSAS, Azure AS, or Power BI
36+
When connecting to a remote instance, you have two possible solutions:
37+
38+
#### Option A: Specify Locale in the Connection String
39+
Explicitly set a supported locale (e.g., English – 1033) by adding `LocaleIdentifier=1033` to your connection string.
40+
41+
**Example (Azure AS):**
42+
```plaintext
43+
Data Source=asazure://westeurope.asazure.windows.net/instance-name;LocaleIdentifier=1033
44+
```
45+
46+
#### Option B: Change Regional Settings on Your Machine
47+
Adjust your local system’s regional and language settings to match a supported locale.
48+
49+
- **Recommended settings:**
50+
- **Regional format:** English (United States)
51+
- **Windows Display Language:** English (United States)
