Get translated taxonomy terms with Entity Translation I'm using Entity Translation for Taxonomy Terms.

I've a Cities Vocabulary and I need to get translated names of some 1600 cities.

Using taxonomy_get_tree without arguments returns the term names in English. However if I pass the last parameter $load_entities= TRUE then it currectly returns $term->name as translated one.

But it seems fully loading 1600 terms by setting $load_entities can slown down the site performance heavily as mentioned in the api page.

Is there any faster way to do it?

I'm thinking of caching the results in a temp file. Or can use some query as in When using Entity Translation and the Title module, how can I get the translated term from the term ID programmatically? to fetch it myself.
You are using Entity Translation, so keep in mind there can't be any translated term load because you're translating fields not whole term. Term will load by

$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);

use in devel mode or by dpm see the $term object. There you'll see structure 

$term-&gt;name_field['en'][0]['value'] 


You can fetch it this way or by field_get_items() for en language.

$name = field_get_items('taxonomy_term', $term, 'name_field', 'en');


AND

$term-&gt;name_field['fr'][0]['value']


You can fetch it this way or by field_get_items() for fr language.

$name = field_get_items('taxonomy_term', $term, 'name_field', 'fr');


This is how you can get the data per language
