forget those two - I forgot to change my main pageDS.

But now I have a question. What is the suggested way to localize a page 
if the desired foreign language needs for some reason a completely 
different page-structure? Should in this case a pageTS with 
<langDisable>0</langDisable> be provided? Or should a dummy-page be 
used? But a dummy-page will also appear in the menu of the default 
language - if it is not excluded via conditions and TS - which is not 
acceptable.
