Abdulla's custom control allows developers to add these three textboxs inside a custom multilang control that will reform these textboxes inside a sliding div that displays one textbox at a time for the selected language. This custom control includes two icons for each language: one in "on" case, and one for "off" case, so the end user can click in the language image that he wants to enter and the proper textbox will appear in the sliding animation using JavaScript code.
