The language displayed is chosed by file property 'locale', which is 
either set for that file or inherited from its folder.
You can display another language by creating a "sibling" of the file
and specifying another value for the 'locale' property.
Common practise is to have several folders like '/en' '/de'
with 'locale' property set to 'en' and 'de' respectively.
The you have the same file in both folders using the 'sibling'
feature, and it inherits different locale from the folders.

This is the default behavior. You can provide another implementation
of  org.opencms.i18n.I_CmsLocaleHandler which may decide language
using different mechanism.
