You should have taken the red pill ;) The difficulty here, is that you have to carefully take the technical, as well as the functional approach of each kind of multilingualism functionality in mind. Always look at this kind of functionality from the eyes of the user, because managing multilingual content is difficult to understand unless you guide the user.
- How does the user translate objects? - What happens to multilingual content? Is it in a shared library or has each content it's own culture root? - What happens to workflow? When I request approval for object A what happens to the status of each culture of that specific object? - When I publish object A, are all cultures published at once for the specific object? - Should each culture have it's own team of authors, editors, and reviewers? - etc.. Multilingual front ends are one of the biggest technical obstacles in a CMS, on technical as well as user-friendly reasons. The functionality integrates deep into core functionality for almost every action you take. Permissions, Adding, editing, removing, checking, publishing, reviewing, authoring, and even viewing. It takes a lot of time evaluating the use, and how to implement it on all aspects of the CMS functionality.
