I don't really know, since I am Dutch, not Belgian. Belgium is also trilingual. French, Dutch and German. All three versions of the anthem say pretty much the same, so lines could be interchanged to form an trilingual version. According to Wikipedia, this is actually what happens at the national day, just like the bilingual version of O Canada. As for Switzerland. I honestly don't know. Maybe I'll ask my previous room mate. His girlfriend hails from Switzerland. I'll keep you posted.
