How to avoid translation on input field in a dashboard

Hello,
I have a dashboard with a dropdown input filled by a search. One result from this search in "Valid" witch is translated as "Valide" in french.

How may I avoid this translation to display "Valid" even in french?

Thanks
Christian

ok, got it, you need to disable the translation for some dashboard drilldown values. I have no idea right now, but may be somebody else has a solution 🙂

Hello @ktn01 ,

please check that the translation you see in the dashboard is taken from this file:

/opt/splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

you can avoid translations if you switch your browser to an english locale in settings or manually change the splunk url from:

http://splunk:8000/fr-FR/

to:

http://splunk:8000/en-GB/
