Reference back to entity translation

Unity Engine

So, I have an entity that has another entity as target;

target.targetEntity = referenceEntity;

That means in another job I have reference to that entity. I want to turn towards that entity, but I can’t really figure out how to get the translation data component of my target entity. I mean, I’d expect it to be something like this;

                // target has an Entity
                // That entity has a Translatopn
                Entity targetEntity;
                targetEntity = target.targetEntity;
                Entities.Equals((targetEntity, ref Translation targetTranslation) =>
                {
                    Debug.Log("Found it");
                });

But that is not right at all. I am probably not finding the right google terms for it either. How would I get the translation associated with an entity, by referencing that entity?

Use ComponentDataFromEntity (it allows you to access a component from another entity): var translationFromEntity = GetComponentDataFromEntity<Translation>(true);

I looked at that, but where do i reference what entity I want the translation from? Where do I put in that I want the translation from target.targetEntity?

ComponentDataFromEntity has an Entity indexer, similar to a Dictionary.
