When you have a complex sentence that contains an independent clause and a dependent clause with a relative pronoun as in your example, it is better to separate it to two sentences (clauses).
The two ideas differ in the language
They (the two ideas) are referred to with the language.
Both sentences have the same word language which will be an antecedent for a relative clause that follows an independent clause:
The two ideas differ in the language which they are referred to with.
The preposition with could be placed before which.
The two ideas differ in the language with which they are
referred to.
There is no way to omit the preposition to as it is part of the phrasal verb refer to. If you are concerned with the preposition, you could consider changing refer to to mention, describe, or specify , etc. as follows:
The two ideas differ in the language with which they are
mentioned/described/specified.
