how to setup a single install mediawiki in two languages?

I would like to setup mediawiki in two languages without installing twice and setting them up as a wiki family. The Language Selector extension allows for UI to be switched, but it does not allow for multiple language content. The aim is to have a corresponding pages in both languages (ex About Us in English, About Us in French) and a way to switch between them. Not all pages will have their counter parts.

I see two ways to do this - either instructional (e.g. "For English, use: [[en/Page Title|Page Title]] and for Spanish use: [[es/Título de la página|Título de la página]].

Or by using an extension to detect the language during a page save, edit, encoding on the wiki, and modifying the page to add the en/ or es/ to the page or page link. That would be best, I think.
