DataFactory Language bug?

Hi, i have the following case, in the bottom of the page, our client can add logo's of their partner them self, they are stored in a "data" folder, which are not browsable their self, but only to build up a list of logo's with links to their partner page in the site.

So the item consists of something like:

-Logo
-Name
-AirlineLink

All of them don't have a unique value per language.

BUT: most important the AirlineLink which points to a Content page in the website IS multilingual, and here comes the problem.

Let's say i am in the dutch site, and i retrieve the Childs with the following code:

var x = DataFactory.Instance.GetChildren(SitewideProperties.AirlineMemberContainer, LanguageSelector.AutoDetect());

The AirlineLinks are not correct, they always return the Url to the English versions, i did offcourse testing of the Language pass through is correct.
I even get the correct items, because when i change a name in the Dutch language branch, i retrieve the translated item, but the link is still pointing to the English version of the Page.

Does someone know or this i bug, and or there is a work around for this?

Do you mean that you get back the correct PageData object for that language, but that the LinkUrl that gets rendered goes to the English version?

Well, i get back the correct "logo" items, but a colleague already pointed that the AirlineLink is a pagereference.
But i assumed, that it would return the correct language branch automatically....

I will post my code:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptMemberstop" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <section class="airlineLogo">
            <a href="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).AirlineLink %>" title="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).PageName %>">
                <img class="logoHover" src="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).AirlineLogoActive %>" alt="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).PageName %>" />
                <img src="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).AirlineLogo %>" alt="<%# ((AirlineMemberPT)Container.DataItem).PageName %>" />
            </a>
        </section>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>


CodeBehind:

// Retrieve the page data
rptMemberstop.DataSource = PageUtilities.GetChildren<AirlineMemberPT>(SitewideProperties.AirlineMemberContainer,LanguageSelector.AutoDetect()).Where(m => m.VisibleInMenu).Take(7);
rptMemberstop.DataBind();

 And my PageType:

    public class AirlineMemberPT : BaseDataPage
