Adding a variable in a Liquid template for multilingual?

I have a Jekyll project and I'm trying to implement multilingual functionality.

My data files were stored in _data/my_data.yml, and accessed in the templates via the {% for data in site.data.my_data %} Liquid template tag.

I have now copied and translated my data files into _data/en/my_data.yml and _data/it/my_data.yml and created two .md files, using the same template, with respective lang attributes in the front matter.

I am trying to dynamically access the correct data based on this lang attribute however it's throwing all sorts of errors.

Things I've tried

{% for data in site.data.[page.lang].my_data %}
{% for data in site.data[page.lang]my_data %}
{% for data in site.data.{{page.lang}}.my_data %}

Any ideas?

In case anyone runs into this in the future, solved it with pretty much the only combination I hadn't tried yet:

{% for data in site.data[page.lang].my_data %}
