Course in different languages

Hello everybody. I've read some discussions concerning courses in more than one language. I've also seen this http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Multi_language_content in the documentation, but unfortunatelly cannot view the example courses, to see how it actually works. 

I would really like to learn from your experience which is the most effort-effective way to create courses with the same content in different languages.

- Is it better to make changes within the moodle code?

- Is it better to provide different courses with clear titles or descriptions (e.g. Course in English Language, Course in Polish Language, Course in Greek Language) ?

Maybe there is another way I haven't thought of. Any opinions concerning this issue?

I guess that I must have the educational content translated and that moodle cannot translate some resources (I mean the html pages and the labels for example, not pdf files, videos etc of course) automatically, just like it happens with the system's language...

Tnx for your time. I would really appreciate your thoughts..

Moreover, I have a problem to enable multilanguage content. I have enabled the filter from the site administration. I have typed 

<span lang="en" class="multilang">english content here</span>
<span lang="el" class="multilang">greek content here</span>

within html editor mode.

However, even if I choose english or greek language I can still see both texts..... 

Any suggestions on this?

you have to write it like this 

 

<span lang="en" class="multilang">english content here</span><span lang="el" class="multilang">greek content here</span>

there should be no space or break between the span tags
