Coldfusion Mysql get data from two tables

Hello experts.
I need help to create a query to retrieve data from two tables and then create an array to return data from a function.
I have one attributes_categories with more than an attribute_id that i have in the testcode i post and a attributes_categories_text table to get the name of the categories in several languages
attributes_categories_text table:
table_id(int) attr_id(int)  attr_text (varchar)  language(char)

I did try with left joins and group but i did nt get what i want.
I post a code that is working and giving what i need but i m sure that it could be done with a better way.
Any help?
The test code:

 <cfquery name = "qrycategories" datasource="#request.dsn#">
  SELECT ac.attr_cat_id
  FROM attributes_categories2 ac 
  ORDER BY ac.attr_cat_ordervalue ASC  
 </cfquery>
 <cfoutput>
 <cfset Records = []>
 <cfloop query="qrycategories">
  <cfquery name = "data" datasource="#request.dsn#">
   SELECT act.attr_cat_text, act.language
   FROM attributes_categories_text2 act 
   WHERE  act.attr_cat_id = #qrycategories.attr_cat_id#
  </cfquery>
  <cfset elem = {} />
  <cfset elem["attr_cat_id"] = attr_cat_id />
  <cfloop query="data">
   <cfset elem["attr_cat_text_#data.language#"] = '#data.attr_cat_text#' />
  </cfloop>
  <cfset arrayAppend(Records, elem) />
 </cfloop>
</cfoutput>
