On the dev site for Internet-Encyclopedia which has mediawiki-1.1.0 installed articles imported from Wikipedia which have foreign language links do not display at the top of the page as links, but just as inert material within the article. See:
http://dev.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=2003
On the live site it displays normally at the top of the page, see:
http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=2003
This is not absolutely necessary to the operation of Internet-Encyclopedia but it is nice to have as it aids both users and Wikipedia.
I'm thinking that the correct line in LocalSettings.php would fix this.

Available interwiki links are defined by what's in the interwiki table.
A fairly wide set (which probably should be checked for up-to-dateness) is in maintenance/interwiki.sql and should be installed by default; this'll provide you with for instance the MeatBall: and Wikipedia: prefixes.
The language prefixes for Wikipedia are provided in maintenance/wikipedia-interwiki.sql, however I would recommend against importing them directly into wikis that aren't Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirrors.
The set of interwikis that will be put in the 'other languages' bar and their labels is defined by $wgLanguageNamesEn in Language.php, but if they're not active interwiki prefixes to begin with they won't get that far.

I was wondering how that worked -- I noticed yesterday that on the German version of [[Gregorian Calendar]] there's a link to the Bulgarian version which doesn't form a link, but just appears at the bottom of the article text.
The inserting of the material in wikipedia-interwiki.sql worked fine, in the case of mediawiki-1.1.0 (It would not work on the earlier phase 3 which is not live). I removed the links to wikipedia and meta as Internet-Encyclopedia is not actually a part of Wikipedia.
That link on the German Wikipedia is supposed to work, perhaps the software has not been updated, probably the other languages work, eh?.
