In theory yes, but it's simply not implemented.

There is the TCA-ctrl property transOrigPointerTable, which is used by 
page_language_overlay. And in 
t3lib_TCEforms->registerDefaultLanguageData() the original page record 
is loaded into $t3lib_TCEforms->defaultLanguageData.

Maybe getRTypeNum() can be changed as such that it tests for 
TCA[<table>][ctrl]transOrigPointerTable and if set uses the TCA of that 
table to determine the type (using of course 
$t3lib_TCEforms->defaultLanguageData instead of the supplied $row 
parameter).

The change in typo3/sysext/install/modules/system/conf.php is within a 
comment. I din't check the other file.

IMHO anyone who submits a patch here must check all changes, just 
because it's in the BT is not a sufficient reason. The point is that we 
not only verify the functionality but also the implications of a patch. 
So it's important to understand what you submit.
