Maybe you could explain why you need such a strange thing. Internally
CONTENT object already will use pages_language_overlay exactly to be
able to handle internationalization the "pages" table the "TYPO3" way.
If you are accessing this "internal-use" table directly, you are
overrunning what TYPO3 already does by itself, and I can't figure a
reason to do so. Or is there any?
