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?

Maybe try:

$this->related_tutor->template->fields->skills->getLabel($user->language);

Edit: looks like $user->language is the default, but give it a try
