Hi Benni,

Thanks for your review! I want to describe you the reason why I have written 
the patch. We have arranged three countries on our page which are sharing 
almost the same content in german. Also we have several pages which can 
slide the contents of some columns (e.g. fine print/Kleingedrucktes), but 
specially the fine print content elements are different between the countries 
(because different laws and the VAT) and I can only slide them if either my 
patch is applied or an alternative page translation is added for any 
subpage! This results in many redundant alternative page translation entries 
that doesn't contain any content elements, but must be maintained. I can 
give you some more examples on our page, where we have exactly the same 
problems.

I know that the problem isn't such difficult if you have different languages 
instead of different countries, because you need the alternative page 
translation in most cases.
IMHO my patch adds a much more expected behaviour to the slide 
functionality.
