Is it possible to export Alarm Journal table in Ignition 7.8.3 to CSV or Excel in translated language?

I’ve found few posts here, how to export to CSV and it’s working. But it always in English.

I have a project in Russia and they want alarm history in Excel or CSV, but in Russian language.

Is this possible at all? ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:")

I assume you are grabbing the journal’s dataset and exporting that using system.dataset.exportCSV?

The underlying dataset is going to be in English (as you’ve discovered), so you would need grab that dataset and build a new translated one using system.util.translate() on each cell that you want to translate. Remember that this will use the global translation terms, not component translation terms.
