Click on the admin entry in the menu. You will have a page with a lot of icons. Click on the login one. (it is the same page where you can go on the features page)

Instead I can only define that the current page is a translation of another page, which means that I first habe to write the original and the translated page and then define that one is the translation of the other.
Yes you are right. The translation is aposteriori. It means, you have to create the 2 pages and associate them. The "interactive" interface needs still to be written.

No, one way is enough

I therefore inserted such a link to "OriginalPageDE" into the "OriginalPage", translated the page from English to German, then declared the German page to be the translation of the English page and then deleted the link from the "OriginalPage". Isn't that somewhat complicated? Isn't there an easier was? Do I really have to create a new page name for every translation, i.e.

You can use the "quick edit" module to create a page directly. or you can type: tiki-editpage.php?page=myPage,de
I know the intercative multilingual interface is missing.
