Do I understand correctly that you want to expose a knowledge base in
several languages? RDF/RDFS/OWL allow to add language tags to literals,
i.e. http://dbpedia.org/resource/House has an rdfs:label in several
languages. (If you were already aware of this, it might be better to ask
a more specific question.)

Multilingual CMS are, of course, a different issue as you also need to
translate UI messages etc.

Kind regards,

Jens
