Translation Skill not writing fields to output

Question

I have been unable to get my translated content fields to output in my results.

Here is a sample result from a query. I would expect my skillset to output 6 additional fields based on the two skills defined.

{
    "@odata.context": "https://text-skill-test.search.windows.net/indexes('translate-english1')/$metadata#docs(*)",
    "value": [
        {
            "@search.score": 1,
            "index_id": "1",
            "metadata_content_type": null,
            "language": null,
            "title": "3 Things to Know About Release Notes",
            "content": "\r\n<p>Hey there Office Insiders!</p>\r\n"
        }
    ]
}

My Indexer:

{
  "@odata.context": "https://text-skill-test.search.windows.net/$metadata#indexers/$entity",
  "name": "indexer1613347856608",
  "description": null,

    "maxFailedItemsPerBatch": 0,
    "base64EncodeKeys": null,
    "configuration": {
      "dataToExtract": "contentAndMetadata",
      "parsingMode": "json"
    }
  },
  "fieldMappings": [
    {
      "sourceFieldName": "metadata_storage_path",
      "targetFieldName": "index_id",
      "mappingFunction": {
        "name": "base64Encode",
        "parameters": null
      }
    }
  ],
  "outputFieldMappings": [
    {
      "sourceFieldName": "/document/title",
      "targetFieldName": "title"
    },
    {
      "sourceFieldName": "/document/content",
      "targetFieldName": "content"
    }
  ]
}

My skill definition is this. I have also tried playing with the source field below and leave out /document but it didn't work.

I would need to look at your index definition as well to pinpoint the fix. You have one issue with your indexer:

1. Incorrect indexer output field mappings . Add the following object in your output field mappings. { "sourceFieldName": "/document/translatedContentText_fr", "targetFieldName": "your index field name for French text", "mappingFunction": null }

2. You could possibly have a second issue with the field missing in the index definition. To fix this add a field to index of type EDM.String and use that name in the output field mapping described above. Make sure the field is retrievable at the least.
