Ok,
Perhaps I need to provide a bit more information on where I am up to.
Using Mediawiki 1.5.3. I have setup 1 mysql database with no extensions
being used.
I am at this time trying to determine how best to set up a
multi-language wiki. I have been able to go into the interwiki database
and add the language codes for the additional languages. Eg.
nl
http://nl.wiki.phpgedview.net/index.php?title=$1 1
Not quite sure what the 0 or 1 means in the iw_local field.
I have figured out that I need to include $wgInterwikiMagic = true; into
my LocalSettings.php if I want the language codes to come up as
XX.website.com/index... I have also seen that you can put the language
code either before or after the $1 variable in the interwiki database to
change where the language code comes up.
What I imagined would happen is that when you selected a different
language that you would be able to edit the sidebar for each one somehow
like I do for the default language (MediaWiki:Sidebar). I have also
read somewhere that you need multiple databases for running multiple
languages. This site is basically designed to be one document
replicated into a number of languages.
Sorry but I am VERY new to all this and can not find an easy step
through anywhere let alone a hard one.
I could also not find the work sidebar at all in Languagesxx.php file.

What you should be able to do is edit the appropriate LanguageXX.php
file, find the entry for 'sidebar', and edit that as appropriate. When
a user selects a language other than the default, you should find the
interface loads from that language file, and the sidebar should
hopefully update.
