Hi,  
I use Ignition 8.1 and make use of translation manager to show the labels for my alarms. I see that The alarm Journal is not using the same label that was used by the alarms.  
For Ex: I give the key name in the translation manager as "Motor\_Alm\_01" and inside I write the messages "Motor temp is over 60°C" that I would want to display when the alarm is active.  
Alarm takes it well and works as planned.  
But, Alarm Journal show the label as "Motor\_Alm\_01" instead of the message inside i.e, "Motor temp is over 60°C".  
Is there a way I can follow to show the message inside the translation manager as the label for alarm Journal?
