Question

How would i go about getting the value of a field in another language in Sitecore 6? To get the value of a field in the standard language i use the following page.Fields["Title"].ToString().

How to accomblish this, if i want the value of the same field for English (en) for instance?

Answer 1

You can’t get the value of the field for a different language without first getting the entire item in that language. In your case, page is in language ‘x’ and the Title field is in language ‘x’. If you want the Title field in language ‘y’ you will need to get page in language ‘y’.

Sitecore.Globalization.Language language = Sitecore.Data.Managers.LanguageManager.GetLanguage("en");
Sitecore.Data.Items.Item itemY = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem("/path/to/item", language);
string fieldY = itemY["Title"];
