Show entry content for other available locales

Question

We need to part translate a site, and by which i mean only certain sections are available in other locales, and only certain Entries in those pages. In order to display these in the front end we simply want to show :

"This entry is also available in French"

at the base of the entry, and link to a special layout (no nav).

Has anyone achieved this - can the locales be called for each entry ?

Thanks Dan

I think the best way to do this, is by using craft.entries.id().locale() and checking if any entries are returned (not tested):

{% set thisEntryInDifferentLocales = craft.entries.id(thisEntry.id).locale('fr') %}
{% if thisEntryInDifferentLocales | length %}
    {% for localeEntry in thisEntryInDifferentLocales %}
       <a href="{{ localeEntry.url }}">This entry is also available in {{ localeEntry.locale }}</a>
    {% endfor %}
{% endif %}
