I implemented this answer in order to have all language variants of my CV in one file.

All works as expected, however the hypersetup variables/commands (like pdfauthor) through errors while compilation (e.g. ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \pdfauthor), here’s a log (I pressed enter every time the error showed up):

language are normally activated only a \begin{document}. That's then too late for your hyperref settings. So you need to call \selectlanguage yourself. Also carefully comment the end of lines in the language definitions, if you don't want to get spurious spaces everywhere. Don't use xltxtra, that's no longer needed today, and load hyperref late.
