mmm try something like this

Code:

$lg =& JFactory::getLanguage();
if ($lang->getName()=="Italian")
{
   $this->loadTemplate("it");
   // supposing you are in item.php 
   // and you create a item_it.php file 
   // containing the language template for italian
}
else
{
// normal template
}

Yes but i think this will give the currently default frontend language, better use this:

Code:

$lang = JRequest::getWord('lang', '' );
if(empty($lang)){
	$langFactory= JFactory::getLanguage();
	$tagLang = $langFactory->getTag();
	$lang = substr($tagLang ,0,2);
}

if (in_array($lang, array("it","de","fr") )
{
	$this->loadTemplate($lang);
	// supposing you are in item.php
	// and you create a item_it.php file
	// containing the language template for italian
} else {
	//normal template
}

krapaic, nice idea about using the :
$this->loadTemplate(...);
it makes it more consistent, i would have forgotten to mention it.

Regards
