None of the translated text from template variable is displayed

    I have made the website in 2 languages and using Babel to manage those 2 languages. The site has English language as the default. The site can display both languages except the Thai language that is from the text field from template variable.

    I can see that when I want to show the value from template variable, it has the id related to. For example I have this 
    <p>[[getResourceField? &id=`2` &processTV=`1` &field=`AboutDITP`]]</p>


    The id = 2 refers to the resource id of English page but the id of my Thai page where I have Thai content is '134'.

    I'm pretty sure there should be some clever way to deal with this.


    Thank you.

      You could create a Context Setting for each Context that contains the ID of the appropriate page (assuming that you have a separate context for each language).

      <p>[[getResourceField? &id=`[[++ContextSettingName]]` &processTV=`1` &field=`AboutDITP`]]</p>


      Personally, I think I would put the content in a chunk, rather than a TV, and just put the name of the chunk in the Context Setting. It would be much faster and simpler.

        Doesn't getResourceField require you to define &isTV=`1` as well when working with TVs?
