I can see your problem in some way. But it is not very logic to think that a 
multilanguage site, would have some menuitems being in one language supposed 
to be read by all languages. That said, a configuration for 
config.keepLanguageAnytime could be useful. I suggest you take it to the 
typo3.dev list.

A solution is to simply translate the pagecontent and have, in your case 3, 
renundant texts, this would make you menu stay. Or best practise, translate 
all the pages or finally use the "Hide page if no translation for current 
language exists" checkbox if you do not have the content in the other 
languages.

Regards,

Lars Houmark
