Read more on http://www.kreationsbyran.se/blogg/multilingual-module-for-silverstripe/

and 

http://ss-multilingualdemo.kreationsbyran.se/documentation/

On classes that have extended from MultilingualPage/MultilingualDataObject one might 
be forced to use:

function getCMSFields() {
		
		SiteTree::disableCMSFieldsExtensions();
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		SiteTree::enableCMSFieldsExtensions();
		...
		....
		.
		.
		$this->extend('updateCMSFields', $fields);
		return $fields;
}

in order to get all the fields to appear in the CMS as multilingual.
