Can the data inside of tables be translated?

If so, how can this be done? The only property that I could find that would let me do this was the Translation List property on the Table Customizer, but recreating each translation pair when I already have translations in my translation manager does not make any sense, so I’m hoping there is a better way.

We assume your data coming in is already the way you want it. Depending on the source, you can either use [system.util.translate](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.util.translate) to translate your data or you can use [named queries](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Named+Queries) to dynamically change the source of your data.
