I am using Sitecore 9.0.1 with SXA 1.7 .we have a requirement that the filter values should get displayed in chinese language.

I have created a template with field color and data type multiroot tree list enter image description here

I have changed the display names of the color items to chinese and selected those items in my data folder.

enter image description here

but in the frontend dropdown i am able to see the Item Id's which is splitted into multiple parts

enter image description here

Workaround on Gatogordo's suggestion:

I added the below code in Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search.Solr.config

<field fieldName="color_sm"
                    type="Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search.ComputedFields.ResolvedLinks, Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search" referenceField="Color" contentField="color"/>

This is my fruit template: enter image description here

This is my color template: enter image description here

Facet details

enter image description here

This is my dropdown filter: enter image description here

This is the result i am getting now:

2nd round workaround

Fruit template

Color template:

Facet details:

Colors:

Config change:

 <field fieldName="colortext" type="Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search.ComputedFields.ResolvedLinks, Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search" 
                                   referenceField="color" contentField="Color"/>

Current result:

After removing the fields from the template i m getting the below result:

Solr Data:

Can anyone please help how can i achieve the chinese data under my dropdown.

Thanks

You should change your configuration as:

<field fieldName="colortext" type="Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search.ComputedFields.ResolvedLinks, Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Search" referenceField="color" contentField="Color"/>

After doing so, don't forget to rebuild the SXA indexes and verify that you now have a field "colortext" which has the values of the colors (not the guids).

Then you change the fieldname in the facet to be "colortext". I've had situations where I had to use the exact index name including the suffix (so like colortext_sm), so if it doesn't work try that...

But step 1 is to make sure you have the values in the index.

  • You don't have to change the name of your field or add other fields.. that's the whole trick. You only add a field to your index, not to Sitecore.

  • i removed the added fields from the template and just kept the configuration and the facet name to "colortext" but still i m getting the item ID and for only one item it is showing the color name updated in the last screenshot @Gatogordo

  • Did you rebuild the index and verify in solr that the colortext field is correctly filled?
