Hi,  
I have some problem translating some terms in the Alarm Journal Table in Perspective (Ignition 8.0.17)

 ![AlarmJournalTable_Translation1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/9/3928e03a4f9df139e8d5752a15bf9f387c578763.png)  
As you can see the key Event Time is translated to “Tempo” in italian but the table still uses the english terms.  
Also if I try to add new translations or modify them (like in this case where I wanted to change “Tempo” to “Data e ora”) I click Save and the transaltion I added just disappear, as you can see below.  
 ![AlarmJournalTable_Translation2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/7/37980dc10bf27a033a42e678dbeb6c5eb666b030.png)  
The translation terms are not the only words that are causing me problems, also the Label is different form what I have defined it in the UDT (it’s “Allarme\_portata\_uscita\_max” but it should be “Allarme portata uscita max”)  
 ![AlarmJournalTable_Translation4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/7/e734742b1c4e6a5c7608e9791ffefad0512661e9.png)  
On other components like the alarm status table inPerspective or the others Alarm tables in Vision both the translation and the terms defined in the UDT works.

I just realized that I have some problems with the Alarm Status Table, the key Active Time doesn’t get translated

 ![AlarmJournalTable_Translation5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/e/beb2bb264a85860fbd73c6d19ed0dad3798547af.png)  
Also I would like to translate Active and Shelved but they don’t appear in the Translation Manager

The Alarm Tables did not fully support translation until just recently. I believe it was 8.1.3. The issues you described should have been resolved as of that time.

I read elsewhere on the forum that it should have been resolved in 8.0.13, but in my project, as you can see, I’m still facing some problems

Without some cited sources I don't know what to tell you.

I was wrong, as you said it was updated in 8.1.3. Does this mean the translation will not be implemented in 8.0.xx?

Correct - the only fixes we will put into the 8.0.XX versions are critical fixes.
