What are the Steps to Translate the Current Search Block and Facet Search block(s)
I was able to solve this issue; however not in an ideal way:

By implementing hook_block_view_alter and passing pieces of the markup to the translation function.

function MY_MODULE_block_view_alter(&amp;$data, $block) {
    if($block-&gt;module == 'current_search'){
            $original_markup = $data['content']['results']['#markup'];
            $original_filtered = strip_tags($original_markup);
            $results_count_int = filter_var($original_filtered, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
            if($results_count_int){
                    $new_text = t('Search found @count item(s)', array('@count' =&gt; $results_count_int));
                    $new_markup = "&lt;h3 class=\"\"&gt;$new_text&lt;/h3&gt;";
                    $data['content']['results']['#markup'] = $new_markup;
            }
    }


}
