access a related page templatefield's label in the current user language

[froot]

Hello Processwirers,

I'm trying to access a field's label in the current user language: 

$this->template->fields->skills->label // returns either "skills" or "Kenntnisse" depending on the language /en/ or /de/
$this->related_tutor->template->fields->skills->label // always returns "skills" no matter the language

The label for the field is set in different languages.
related_movie is a related page (aka "page field") and that related page is a user, i.e. uses a system template (– might that be the issue?)

Why doesn't this work for related pages?

@froot so related_tutor or related_movie, is a page field right? Is it a single or multiple page field?
If multiple (by default), then you would need to select one from the array. like:  …related_tutor->first->template->fields->skills->label

 

and check this https://processwire.com/api/ref/field/get-label/

@froot Try to replace "label" by "getLabel()".

Get field label for current language, or another specified language.

This is different from $field->label in that it knows about languages (when installed).
