To have multiple pages of the same content in different languages, either separate wikis are required, or you could do something with subpages, e.g. http://www.foo.com/wiki/Page/en, /wiki/Page/fr, etc...

Ok,
Perhaps I need to provide a bit more information on where I am up to.
Using Mediawiki 1.5.3. I have setup 1 mysql database with no extensions being used.
I am at this time trying to determine how best to set up a multi-language wiki. I have been able to go into the interwiki database and add the language codes for the additional languages. Eg. nl http://nl.wiki.phpgedview.net/index.php?title=$1 1
Not quite sure what the 0 or 1 means in the iw_local field.
I have figured out that I need to include $wgInterwikiMagic = true; into my LocalSettings.php if I want the language codes to come up as XX.website.com/index... I have also seen that you can put the language code either before or after the $1 variable in the interwiki database to change where the language code comes up.
What I imagined would happen is that when you selected a different language that you would be able to edit the sidebar for each one somehow like I do for the default language (MediaWiki:Sidebar). I have also read somewhere that you need multiple databases for running multiple languages. This site is basically designed to be one document replicated into a number of languages.
Sorry but I am VERY new to all this and can not find an easy step through anywhere let alone a hard one.
I could also not find the work sidebar at all in Languagesxx.php file.

What you should be able to do is edit the appropriate LanguageXX.php file, find the entry for 'sidebar', and edit that as appropriate. When a user selects a language other than the default, you should find the interface loads from that language file, and the sidebar should hopefully update.
