i18n

I have a bilingual site in Drupal. The problem is that I hate the language switch block taking up so much space (sometimes the only thing in the sidebar is the language switch block).

So what I would love to have is language switch menu item, that would point to the other language (other then the current one).

Something like this:

| Home | Projects | BlaBla |        | Cesky |

after swith:

| Domu | Projekty | Blabla |        | English |

Is that possible without writing a whole new module?
