how to fetch $page->name in different languages

[bmacnaughton]

We have a three language web site - 'de', 'en', 'fr' with 'de' being the default.

There are pages for which we want to use the name (it's unique within its parent-scope) as in the attachment.

But when I fetch the name it does not return the name for the language - it always returns the name for the default language (guertel, in this case).

I've tried $page->getLanguageValue($lang, 'name'), but name is not a "real" field, so it returns null.

I can hack around it by extracting the last segment of the URL associated with that page (which is language sensitive) but it seems like I must be missing something.

Is there some way to fetch $page->name for the $user->language setting?

Thanks. I hadn't seen those functions.

Any idea why it doesn't return a language-specific name by default? The URL is language-specific by default, so $page->localUrl() isn't really needed as I can get that value just by using $page->url.

Is there a particular reason why $page->localUrl() returns "" even if the backend says it’s not empty (as the value is inherited from the default language)?
