great that you implemented this method. I didn't tested it yet, but +1 
from reading.

I have a question about the remaining comment about 
transOrigPointerTable which confuses me. Does it mean that if this 
Parameter is set that it won't work? What is the sense of this field as 
it can brake so much? In case of pages transForeignTable points to 
pages_language_overlay, and ctrl of this table has transOrigPointerTable 
  pointing to table - it seems superfluous to me, or do i miss something?
