Translating to other than current languages

I would like to translate a string located in languages.yaml in my theme folder into all the languages with a for loop. I can’t use the t filter, as it uses the current language.

Many thanks.

Hello,

I never tried it before, but if you have a look at this page:

{% set langobj  = grav['language'] %}
{% set curlang  = langobj.getLanguage() %}
{% set fruits   = langobj.getTranslation(curlang,'FRUITS',true) %}
<span data-ticker="{{ fruits|join(',') }}">{{ random(fruits) }}</span>

I believe that you can do something like getTranslation('language you want', 'FRUITS', true)

Thank you very much. I did, however, make some changes to the code you provided:

{% for lang in langswitcher.languages %}
  {% set langobj  = grav['language'] %}
  {% set org = langobj.getTranslation(lang,'ORGANIZATION',true) %}  
  <span class="org-type">{{ org }}</span>
{% endfor %}

It’s intended use was in a for loop, where I used the langswitcher plugn, otherwise it would use the current language.
Thanks for your answer and pointing me in the direction of getTranslation. Much appreciated.
