Forum:How would one go about separating all content by language and sub-language sections?

This may have been answered already, but I didn't see any via a search, and I'm pretty new to Wikia. Apologies if I missed it!

I'm attempting to make a wiki which is highly dependent on language and culture. As such, I'll need to separate pages by language (english, spanish, japanese, etc) and by culture (American, British, Central American, Spaniard, etc). Some things will cross over between cultures, some will not, though languages are "hard" separations and will not share content, though there may be portions of other languages on any page (word origins, names, and the like).

I could accomplish this via namespaces, as there's essentially a small finite set of the major combinations. But I'd really rather have something which allows "strong" navigation by culture and / or language (ie, not showing non-relevant pages at all) and makes comparing pages relatively easy if desired (as other cultures will interpret / explain the same thing differently). As I'd prefer to not have to re-do a lot of work in the future, is there a "best" way of going about this? Or some suggestions? The wikia help:languages page isn't loading (template error), and I can't find anything from a bit of looking around.
