# Remove Alias element translation values

When you no longer need Alias element translation values, remove them from the engine element properties.

##

If there are no translation values for a particular Alias element for an engine, the Translation Value is None. If Aliases with the value None are used alone as matching criteria in a rule in a policy, the rule never matches any traffic.
