Hello, I’m using the AlarmJournalTable in Perspective for the first time: it correctly shows the alarms journal data, but I would like to show only the timestamp and the translated alarm label. I tried to set an expression on the label, just like

```auto
translate('Alarm_key')

```

where Alarm\_key is a key inside the translation manager, with related translations, but it’s not working.  
Is there a way to do this?  
Many thanks in advance,  
Francesco

I’m updating this post because now the translate function is now working, but it seems that it’s not using the session’s locale (maybe it’s using the system’s locale?). Is there a way to translate terms inside the component using the session’s locale?
