You can construct the button with an usertag in the spirit of the following:

UserTag language_link Routine <<EOR
sub {
	my ($lang, $currency, $label, $page, $arg, $url);
	my @langs = ([qw(de_DE de_DE de)], [qw(en_US en_US us)], [qw(en_US en_UK uk)], [qw(pl_PL pl_PL pl)]);
	my (@urls);

	# special case for the flypage
	$page = $Tag->var('MV_PAGE', 1);
	$arg = '';
	if ($page eq $Config->{Special}->{flypage}) {
		$arg = $Scratch->{arg};
	}	

	# create links
	for (@langs) {
		($lang, $currency, $label) = @$_;
		$url = $Tag->area({href=>"process/locale/$lang/currency/$currency/page/$page",
				 	  secure=>$Scratch->{secure},
				   	  arg => $arg});
		push (@urls, qq{<a href="$url" class="navigation" border=0><img src="/matstock/images/flagge_$label.gif" border=1 height=17 width=25></a>});
	}

	my $out = join("&nbsp;\n", @urls);
	return <<EOH;
<table width="141" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr><td align=center>&nbsp;<br>
$out
</td></tr>
</table>
EOH
}
EOR

For selecting database fields based on the language you may want to
consider to switch to 4.9 and use the Shadow database.
