Caches are separated by language so results from one language are not reused in another. TranslatePress translates the displayed results with the rest of the page; it does not create a separate search index of translated text. Better Search Pro’s core WordPress REST search responses and live-search suggestions are translated using the active TranslatePress language. Search-term highlighting can prevent TranslatePress from translating a complete title because it splits the text with markup. Disable search-term highlighting if translated titles remain in the default language.
