Search Refiners checkbox label language is not translated.

I am using the modern search web part and I have added a search refiners web part. The problem is that, the result checkbox labels are not being translated.

Hier are my used managed properties for date and size:

The results options are being displayed in English:

For the managed properties Created and Size there are no ows_taxid properties. Also There are no labels translation in loc file for these values.

I know that these values (or later, and up ..) are coming form the api search results. Any suggestions?

Hi @AhmedAldhubaibi, you're right, these values comes directly from the search call response and we don't translate them in the current code. Maybe we could format the output using custom code and current locale for instance, using moment.js. @wobba, can we get these strings according to current locale? Is there any search parameter we can use?

I always assumed query language should impact these. Are we passing lcid on query?

Did some tests and seems they are always returned in English, which means we need to provide string replacement translations for them:

• From
• Before
• up to
• or later

These phrases and also many others are not the only matter regarding this issue. I mean the core functionality of the search refiners needs to be improved. Consider that the key user wants to filter .docx and .pdf files at the same time, which is not possible in the current logic of the search refiners web part. So as soon as you select .docx another request will immediately occurs to fetch new refiners values for .docx until you soon reaches "any value" refiner. The Size refiner is always returned in Byte values which is somehow a little misleading thing.

So my suggestion is that we actually need to keep the refiner's being dynamically fetched from the search api and at the same time having the possibility to multi filter and be able to use localization for the resources. Something like this:

Consider that the key user wants to filter .docx and .pdf files at the same time, which is not possible in the current logic of the search refiners web part.

Or you can select the 'multi-value item refinement' template... The current logic follows the SharePoint one based on classic search web parts. For the 'Size' refiner, it is here a special scenario an yes maybe I should provide a more human readable output format. If you have ideas, don't hesitate to make a PR ;)

I know that we can use the multi value refiner template, but unfortunately we cannot use two multi filters at the same time since the last one will always overwrite the other/s.

I'll see if I can make the 'Apply' button applying all selected filters at once
