thanks masi for your comment

yes i did use TCE api for several things, and it is very powerful.
but i don't like the idea of a new "New Page" button, because that commend is in too many places :)
so i'd prefer to modify the actual one.

first i am studying the "secrets" typo3 command to see if this feature is achievable without hooks anywhere...
but i think it's not...

then i think i'll create a hook for TCEform, where i catch a "create new page" command, and if conditions are met (say the BE user has'nt english as default language)
i automatically create an overlayed page record.

i hope that the BE page module would automatically show the overlaied language page, so that the process is invisible to the user!
