Hi Dennis,
There are 3 general ways I know of.
The out of box method:
Create a dynamic anchor with ability to transfer content from
following page, with its "Switch to language variant" option set to
the other language that you are interested in. Use the anchor to
reference back to your current page. Vola!
<!IoRangeDynLink>
<%txtArticleMainText%>
<!IoRangeRedDotMode><!IoRangeNoRedDotMode><%anc_another_lang%><!/
IoRangeNoRedDotMode><!/IoRangeRedDotMode>
<!/IoRangeDynLink>
However, this is a non-complete solution as it requires manual
referencing current page, and you have if 5 languages, then you have
to create 4 anchors for each language variant, totaling 20 anchors if
you want to be in any 1 language variant and display content from the
other 4.
Rendertag or preexecution method:
Use Elements.GetElement() or preexecuting RQL, but I despise these
solutions as it degrades server performance.
AJAX + out of box functionality:
Provided that you publish or have page instances in all language
variants, create an info_current_page_url placeholder for all your
language variants. Use AJAX to following the URLs generated to grab
the page content and display them in current page.
This method doesn't work if user disables javascript.
In summary: there is poison in all methods...good luck
