Create one main 'mother' page for an overview of the whole thing (which may sometimes include a '[[:Category:Portal|portal]]' url), use the [[template:Multilingual main]] to generate a simplified overview infobox, and [[template:Language versions]] to create navigational links to all available languages; and then one sub-page to that for each language version.  The main page follows the usual naming conventions and gets categorised (via the Multilingual main template) as <code>language = [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|Multilingual]]</code>, the sub-pages are named by using the main page name together with the [[wp:ISO 639|ISO 639 code of the language]] appended within brackets.<!--There should be an automatically generated breadcrumb navigation that leads you back to the main page.  (This way we can have clear and differentiated information on the wiki with individual size/statistics measures for example and the page names have a logical, machine friendly structure. (- Appending three characters to the path/URL of a wikis main page gives you the appropriate subpage for a special language version.) At least the naming may be understood without knowledge of the particular language.)-->
