<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When using a Search API based view the translation management seems to go haywire as in; the content is always returned in the default language.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<ol>
<li>Have a multilingual Drupal setup with path prefixes</li>
<li>Create a search index that indexes nodes with translations</li>
<li>Create a Search API view that uses the index and Format <code>Show: Rendered entity</code></li>
<li>Create a Content view that directly returns the nodes with Format <code>Show: Content</code></li>
<li>Expose the two views in Graphql - assumed endpoint <code>/graphql/general</code></li>
</ol>
<p>Run a query like:</p>
<pre>query ViewsLanguageHandling {<br> searchApiView: entityById(entityType: VIEW, id: "testSearchApiView") {<br> ... on View {<br> executable(displayId: "default") {<br> ... on ViewTestSearchApiViewDefault {<br> execute(<br> limit: 3<br> ) {<br> rows {<br> ... on NodeEvent {<br> titleRawField {<br> first {<br> value<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> contentView: entityById(entityType: VIEW, id: "testContentView") {<br> id<br> ... on View {<br> executable(displayId: "default") {<br> ... on ViewTestContentViewDefault {<br> execute(<br> limit: 3<br> ) {<br> rows {<br> ... on NodeEvent {<br> titleRawField {<br> first {<br> value<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br> }<br>}</pre><p>Run the query on a non default language e.g. <code>/de/graphql/general</code>.<br>
The results of the two views queries will differ - the Search API one will display the content in the default language while the Content view will show the proper translation.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>This seems to be cause by <code>\Drupal\graphql_core_schema\Plugin\GraphQL\DataProducer\ViewExecutor::getEntityTranslationRenderer()</code><br>
There the renderer for the rows is determined under the implicit assumption that all handlers will use the approach from <code>\Drupal\views\Entity\Render\EntityTranslationRenderTrait</code>.<br>
However, Search API uses an entirely different approach for that - in fact the rows / entities seem to already have the appropriate active language set ahead of time.</p>
<p>For lack of a better idea I think we could introduce a type check for SearchApi to bypass the call to <code>getEntityTranslationByRelationship()</code> in the resolver in <code>\Drupal\graphql_core_schema\Plugin\GraphQL\DataProducer\ViewExecutor</code>.</p>
<p>The other approach would be to add the type check in <code>\Drupal\graphql_core_schema\Plugin\GraphQL\DataProducer\ViewExecutor::getEntityTranslationRenderer()</code> and use Search APIs <code>\Drupal\search_api\Plugin\views\EntityTranslationRenderer()</code> as renderer.<br>
This would allow to keep the whole <code>getEntityTranslationByRelationship()</code> handling in place.</p>
