Just the quick question - as user accounts do not have the option to have translated content, it was suggested in another thread that using different fields for each language, so for having a biography i am adding several fields to my account blueprint such as

biode:  
bioen:  
biofr:

while this is very clear i am somewhat can’t think about any way to call it in my template,

```auto
foreach($site->users() as $user) {

// obviously this does not work out of the box...
echo $user->bio$site->language()->code(); 
}

```

I have done quite alot of things with languages but i never had to change the actual fieldname dynamically. So i am somehow stuck in my head…

Edit:

Actually i found a solution, but i wonder if it’s a good one…

```auto
<?= $user->data()['bio'.$site->language()->code()] ?>

```

```auto
<?php
$lCode = $site->language()->code();
$bio = "bio" . $lCode;
foreach($site->users() as $user) {

echo $user->$bio(); 
}
