Not much progress; I stalled on language selection and got busy with
other things.

What I did have was a select box in index pages, top right, filled
with all possible languages (well, 3 in my tests):

And then some rules in Apache for language negotiation based on
cookie:

  SetEnvIf Cookie "language=en" prefer-language=en
  SetEnvIf Cookie "language=fr" prefer-language=fr
  SetEnvIf Cookie "language=de" prefer-language=de


But that had some problems with reloading documents when changing
language, it sometimes required to explicitely reload the page, but
I failed to look into that problem.

I am all for it but I don't have high hopes of free time, we should
probably set up something at guadec to work on that.
