How to build a multilingual Drupal site?

Question

I'd like to build a Drupal site with multiple languages. What modules will I be needing and how would I go about designing my content types, views and menus so that everytime these appear in the correct language?

Thanks!

This is really a huge question and needs too much to be answered here. To get you started, check out the core Locale module along with the i18n module, and also see the documentation for that module.

You'll find more help here if you post specific questions as you go along.
