Translations in Employee Center search results returning wrong language

Hoping a guru can help out with a translation issue I'm having only in one spot of my Employee Center Portal, the search results page.

 

In my case I'm currently configuring the Workplace Services module with Case Management, and have set up a list of Topics, Workplace Services, and Record Producers.

System default is English, and we're translating into four other languages, including Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish.

 

Translations of the above records have been completed with Translated texts added for each record in each required lanaguage, but for some reason the Search results page is producing some very strange results.

 

See screenshot from our TEST environment:

This is showing the system while logged in as a user with Language set to Spanish.

We're getting correct translations of the Record Producer names, shown with the ES arrow, but getting the wrong translation for the line above, which I believe is the Topic name. In the screenshot above it's picking up the Portuguese translation.

I can confirm that Topics are all translated and working as expected elsewhere on the Portal:

What's even stranger is this differs from the behaviour in our DEV environment where again the Record producer name is correct, but the Topic name on the search results in that environment are shown in English

I've confirmed whilst debugging as my admin account in DEV with I18N Debugging that this text doesn't seem to be translated (no TRT prefix) - I believe the Employee translation to the left is of the Taxonomy name and is not readable by my requester accounts, so is not shown on my screenshots above while impersonating.

Here's my Translated Texts data, no other records on the table match any of the same values:

Anyone know where I can look to see if there's a fix I can apply? I've tried looking into the Search widget to see where the data is being loaded from, but it's a beast and will take me a long time to get to the bottom of.

@Thomas Wright1,

 

So this is actually to do with AI Search and how the search indexes are made. Could you have a look at this post (which is related but slightly different) and let me know if it resolves the issue for you, 

 

Also, we have a dedicated forum for these types of topics here (as an FYI),

Many thanks,
kind regards

@Alex Coope - SN thanks for the response. I've regenerated the text index for sc_cat_item and sys_cs_topic, run a cache.do, and cleared my browser cache. The issue unfortunately still persists

@Thomas Wright1,

Thanks for the update, also what release are you on currently?

Many thanks,
Kind regards
