[TYPO3-templavoila] Different html in template for each language ? (static css image menu with javascript rollover imageswap)

Hello,

> ... I need to use positioned images since the menu has overlapping shapes

I had the same issue and solved it using subtemplates in TV. You create 
your template and mapping for the main language and then add a 
subtemplate to your template with an additional condition to show when 
language is e.g., sys_language_uid = 1. This works automatically and you 
just have to remap the subtemplate according to the same DS.
