solution

print(lang.keys[data.key].perm)

Lang file

local lang = {
	keys = {
		mec_boss = {
			title = "mec_boss",
			perm = "mec.perm",
		},
		police_boss = {
			title = "police_boss",
			perm = "police.perm",
		}
	}
}

i want to be able to get the value like this

local test = "mec_boss"
print(lang.keys.(test).perm)

im so bad at describing this … im so sorry
