Missing configuration on the Internal and External Career Search Settings.

When you are using filter fields or mfields, the label information comes from the Internal and External Career Search Settings, and not from the Job Requisition template.

To resolve this, access Internal and External Applicant Search Settings, scroll down to the mfield that you are using and change the value on the "Field Label" for the appropriate one, on every language. For multiple languages, check the steps below:

1.  Go to Admin Center >> Internal and External Career Search Settings (or Provisioning >> Internal and external Applicant Search Settings).
2.  Select English(US) language from the list of supported languages in the instances
3.  For the External / Internal Career site, check the Field label for the 'mfield' in the Custom filters section.
4.  Select another language from the list of supported languages in the instances. This language should be one of the languages in which the requisition is posted.   Example  Deutsch(German)‎.
5.  For the External / Internal Career site, check the Field label for the 'mfield' in the Custom filters section.
6.  If the label for the 'mfield' in English(US) is same as the label for this field in Deutsch(German)‎, that indicates the mfield has not been translated in Deutsch(German) in the Career Search Settings.
   Hence, when the job posting language is changed in the requisition, the label appears as 'null' and when the career site language is changed to Deutsch(German), the label for the mfield search filter appears as 'null'.
7.  The Field label for the 'mfield' in the Custom filters section should be translated correctly in the Deutsch(German) language.
