Just set a different language for each site in wp-admin/options-general.php. WordPress will load the matching language file for theme if it exists. Be aware, you must have these languages installed to get the setting.
Use both: a specialized plugin and multisite. There are plugins doing that (I’m the developer for one, Multilingual Press, but there are others).

It’s in fact very convenient when testing changes in a dev.example.com subdomain, in the sense that it allows to use the same database before rolling out a change on a … Read more
