1. Place module (language switcher or custom html module with link in it - whatever you use) in logo position.
2. Set ordering so this module you placed is before module containing logo
3. Set module class suffix " top-module" , note first letter is blank char
4. In template_css.css add css like this:
.top-module{
position:absolute;
margin-top:...
margin-right:...
}
use margin-top and margin-right to tune position of module , you can use negative values like -40px;
