The point with multilingual content objects is it forces the user to translate levels 
before it can use a certain deeper level. I don't want to brag but I have built 
hundreds of content managed websites, and only some of them wanted object level 
multilingual content management. Due to the high costs involved in multilingual 
content (approx. 4 times the usual cost) they still haven't got things right, and the 
clients with branching do. Situations were you have the exact structure for each 
language are very hard to find.
 
I would go for branching initial, and fake the object level by relating different 
instances to eachother. This is how I've done it in my own system, and currently I 
have no complaints from the 80 customers running on the system :)
 
Btw, think further, what are you going to do with links from google on a certain 
object id? Are you gonna give them a page in the default language, or the language 
defined in their browsers? .. and even then... is that information relevant to that 
culture?

Thank you Geoff.

Branching content should be all right in most of all cases but not for
my specific one. Need an single PLP Step for each object supporting
multiple languages wersions. As far as I understood from your answer
multilingual content objects are not in pipe? I'm right?

German Admin out of the box sounds very good.
