IMHO, you should take a fresh look at the user experience. If you choose the
more natural flow of asking the user to choose a language *before* presenting
them with any forms, then the flow becomes natural and all the difficulties
disappear.
If, however, you proceed with the way you describe, then the inescapable fact
is that when you switch language, the separate form on the page must be
submitted and it must include info about the language you're switching to.
Here's a way:
* in each form, include a hidden field, switchLanguage.
* in each form, include a hidden Submit with mode="cancel".
* in the component layout, you don't need Form, Submit, EventLink, or
ActionLink in the component layout. Instead, use <a href="#"> links.
* in the component layout, require javascript that, on click of a switcher link:
* finds the hidden field, switchLanguage, and populates it; and
* finds the hidden Submit with mode="cancel" and clicks it.
* server-side, in onSubmit, if switchLanguage is not null then you know to
switch the language.
If however, the component layout is around multiple forms, then things get
tricky. It might work if it AJAX-submits each one.
