That is because its PINP, not PHP :)

Your template gets compiled to something along the following lines:

...
if ($this->data->$this->lang && $this->data->$this->lang->name) {
   putvar('arResult', $this->data->$this->lang->name);
} else {
   putvar('arResult', $this->nlsdata->name);
}
...

$this->data->$this->lang is not valid php, it should be $this->data->{$this->lang}
or something. But I'm not sure the PINP compiler is ok with that. Anyway, the solution
is the getValue method, rewrite the pinp template to something like this:

<pinp>
   $lang = getvar('lang');

   // see if the language is defined, and the translated
   // name is not empty. otherwise return the name in
   // the default language.
   $name = getValue('name', $lang);
   if ($name) {
     putvar('arResult', $name);
   } else {
     putvar('arResult', $nlsdata->name);
   }
</pinp>

There is also a setValue method, which does the same for setting values:

setValue('name', $name, $lang);

the $lang value always defaults to $nls if you enter no value.
