A site that actually already integrates multiple languages in one script, letting users set their preferred language and then showing pages in that language if multiple versions exist, or in the available language, if the preferred is not found.

WikiPedia

Wikipedia is actually a collection of separate wikis, each dedicated to a single language. There are twelve that have over 1000 pages: English, German, Polish, French, Swedish, Esperanto, Japanese, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian. An article in one language can be linked to corresponding articles in other languages via specialized InterWiki links called interlanguage links [1]. There is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between articles in different languages. For example, three articles on the French Wikipedia may be linked to a single English article.

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_coordination -- lists all the Wikipedia language wikis that have had at least some activity.

ISSHO Kikaku: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Chinese - 30+ languages

ISSHO Kikaku seeks to unify the world by combining many major languages on one website. Actually, it's an NGO from Japan focused on pluralism worldwide, but its website (portal) is quite ambitious. It's more than just a wiki, but it does contain a wiki (called IsshoCollab?, powered by PhpWiki) as part of its quite diverse menagerie of web applications.

The Oddmuse Manual: English, French, Chinese, German

The wiki for the OddMuse WikiEngine contains translations of the English manual into French, Chinese, and German, in various levels of completion.
