You might want to take a look at Refinery which is now a mountable engine. Version 2.0 has been released a few days ago.

There is also a bunch of other CMS, it all depend on your needs:

tinyMCE will allow you to do images etc, but really if you're using rails for this stuff i would (and do), use tinyMCE for text then add paperclip to add the images and video (possibly also swfupload if the videos are big).

Then you can build your template as required and pull stuff in based on the page.id or other identified.

back to multilingual: you'll want to model up 'my_cms_item' eg. news_item and 'my_cms_item_translation' e.g. 'news_item_translation' and create a 1-Many for these so that when a user creates a news_item they can select to add additional translations in whichever language and the system just detects and pulls if available. You can make it either hide the item or default to a translation as required.
