Property data
When you use your model’s getRecord() or getRecords() methods, then you have the values available by name of the property.
Example:
Property name: title,
Record object var: $record->title (Translation depends on parameter $languageTag in getRecord/getRecord). Also you have each language’s translation in $record->title_en-GB ({property_name}_{locale}). Mind the dash in the locale.
