A multi-language q&a site that seems to work quite well can be found at shapado.com.

My current plan is to use language tags and automatic tag filters based on the set/determined 
locale of the user for askbot.

I personally think there shouldn't be multiple languages on the same page. If someone thinks a 
question is noteworthy enough to translate it, he's able to add another question and answer it 
himself.

This is a quite horrible idea actually…. Think of 105 installations of askbot, 105 databases, 105 
vhosts etc. For askbot it should be quite manageable, as only the settings file must be adapted and 
this can be scripted to share a single installation between multiple settings. But the other 
maintenance overhead is… huge.
