I've only created web sites for friends and family to use (plus, I
hardly remember any French from high school) so I haven't dealt with
multi-language issues. But it seems to me that (apache anyways) is set
up to serve the correct translation based on your browser's
preferences.

I agree with Mr. Sampson that taking up screen space to indicate all
the available translations is wasteful. English speakers and
non-English speakers should have their browsers set up to
automatically select the correct translation and, as a backup, a
drop-down should allow the visitor to pick another language.
