I am setting up MW 1.9.3 in the next several days for English, Italian and
Spanish as follows:
New en, it and es folders off the /wiki folder. A copied LocalSettings.php
file in each sub folder. New tables in the database with different prefixes;
en_, it_ and es_. The new LocalSettings.php files edited to look at these
new tables.
Apache aliases to ensure
domain.com/it/Milano refers to the index.php in the
mother folder (/wiki). This in turn will use the /it LocalSettings.php for
the Italian wiki.
I will post results as they are available but in theory this should allow
multiple languages on a single MW installation with distinct wikis. This
removes issues with version control and extension management.
To give credit where credit is due this configuration came from Jim Wilson.

I installed this Multilang manually, but i
don't know how to use it in wiki.
Is there anywhere a description?
The version of Multilang in Subversion is experimental, and doesn't
have documentation, but the basic gist of it is:
<language code="en">Text in English.</language>
<language code="fr">Text in French.</language>
<multilang />
The <multilang /> tag is replaced with an appropriate <language>
block; if a block in the user's current language preference is
available, then that's used, otherwise the content language (if
available). If neither of those are available, then it falls back to
the first available language block defined.
If a <language> tag doesn't have a "code" attribute, then it will be
ignored.
