**Kibana version** : 7.6

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.6

**APM Server version** : 7.3.2

**APM Agent language and version** : java 1.9.0

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** fresh install

**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc. :-----No

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)** :

In my metrics I am tracking the time taken for transactions. I am using span names in X axis as below. In order to make it more user friendly , I want to give different names for the span names . How can I change the names . Can I use the i18n support to provide English translations for these names. Instead of WORKSTATION\_OPEN I just want to show RegisterOpen. So is there any way we can use the translation feature and use en.json to map the new value .

I tried to do it by putting the file path in xpack/.i18nrc.json  
Also added the vaues in x-pack\plugins\translations\translations\en.json

I don't see the changes reflecting . is there any other option to achieve this .  
This is how my en.json is

{  
"messages": {  
"WORKSTATION\_OPEN": "RegisterOpen"  
}  
}

Do I need to map WORKSTATION\_OPEN any where else

Note: I am fetching the span names from my application logs. I can create mapping in my application itself and set the new names but it is lot of data and I don't want to load a new set of data to my application . So was wondering if we can map it somewhere in Kibana .
