Create an excel file with headers like “Key, Language1, Language2 …” then add data (data according to languages) and convert that into a table like below. “Key” is an important factor to identify which data refers to what kind of information.

Power Apps: 

Import multilingual excel data into PowerApps by using the “Import from Excel” connection like below.

Add one dropdown control to select the language like below.

Select a label then add a condition to get data from imported multilingual excel based on selected language form dropdown like below.

Here is the code example:
If(Dpdwnlang.Selected.Value = “English”, LookUp(OverView, Key = “OVT1F2”, English),LookUp(OverView, Key = “OVT1F2”, German))

1. Dpdwnlang is a Dropdown name.
