Thanks again. I set it up fine as a trial here:
http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/CM-L10n/HomePage . It is kind
of funky the delay / need to reload to get the commands in synch. Can
imagine a new user switching back and forth on a page and absolutely not
getting why the commands and text are different).
However I have had a couple of difficulties:
1) (:selectlang:) seems to want to always be above the (:if ...:) command
(makes sense I guess) so the formatting is limited
2) Found out that (:selectlang:) only presents the language options when
there is an (:if ...:) language command in the text. (Yes it works between
the sidebar and the main page). I had hoped to use it to permit the users
the option of changing the command interface even when there was no text in
more than one lang.
Is there any script for the config / group.php files that lets the site
automatically detect & respond to the user's system default? Here the main
object would be to give them the commands in their presumed language of
preference without a need to choose.

I don't know. I have not tested this.

For fun I just installed it. Well, be prepared that it may not be as
simple as that. I copied a few XLPage files from various languages
into wikilib.d, and created in config.php conditional switches for
these pages.
a) I had to instal utf-8 support with
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php");
before loading multilanguage.php
b) After some frustration I found that (:selectlang:) will only
display links to switch to languages if there were corresponding
(:if userlang xx:) conditionals in the page content.
Now this may be a very useful feature, as a user will not be
confronted with a switch option when there is no alternative content.
c) Placing (:selectlang:) in the sidebar worked fine.
d) When switching the language the content switched immediately, but
it needed a further page refresh to have the interface commands
appearing in the new language.
Overall quite a good result I think.
With some national flags as gifs for the links in the sidebar or
header it may look quite acceptable.
As I said I have not experimented in having this loaded in Group.php
files etc.
I am not an expert with this recipe, just a novice.
