I've been fighting with the problem of multiple languages and interlanguage links for http://chainki.org so I'm about 1 or 2 months ahead of you.
In LocalSettings, make sure you have: $wgHideInterlanguageLinks = false;
You can see the difference by comparing: http://en.chainki.org - hide set to true http://fr.chainki.org - hide set to false
In the interwiki table, I have emptied it of all the "interwiki" links (in my view, they're not really useful for most sites) and just put links for my own site, e.g.: af http://af.chainki.org/index.php?title=$1 0 0 ar http://ar.chainki.org/index.php?title=$1 0 0 etc.
As to the suggestion of using different namespaces for diffrent languages, the problem would be that you would not be able to change the interface languge (i.e. you would have all your sections in the same language). You (like me), I suppose need the interface for each section in a different language. For that you will need a separate version for each language, and then you need to do 2 things: 1) Set $wgLanguageCode in the LocalSettings file to the interface language required 2) Run the maintenace script "maintenance/rebuildMessages.php"
The whole multilingual thing might work for Wikipedia, but for Joe Bloggs wanting a simple way to set up (say) a bi or tri lingual site, it's a nightmare. See also http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6107

Hello to the list, Interlanguage Links do not get displayed, no matter if the skin is MonoBook or Classic. After you enter [[de:PageName]], for example, this gets displayed in the body of the wiki webpage and not in a special "In other languages" section.
