multiple languages implementation in the WEC package

Some years ago I build the three language-website www.zending-amazones.nl in XHTML with CSS. The disadvantage is that switching between languages jumps back to the home page.
Not so long ago I started with typo3 and struglling and with help of some experts I have my first typo3 site www.mellink.info, which is bi-lingual (Dutch/English)
To get experience with the WEC package to use it for our church in the near future I installed the WEC Starters Package to build the typo3 zending-amazones site with it. To get multiple language I tried to copy the procedure I followed for my site, but int eh WEC package it doesn't work.
In detail what I configured:
Template mode in root (globe icon)... Info/Modify gives you Title, Sitetitle, etc. with pencils Select Edit whole template record
Under “Constants” I added:
plugin.tx_srlanguagemenu_pi1.defaultLanguageISOCode = NL
plugin.tx_srlanguagemenu_pi1.defaultCountryISOCode = NL
Under “Setup”:
config.linkVars = L
config.uniqueLinkVars = 1
config.sys_language_overlay = content_fallback
config.language = nl
config.locale_all = nl_NL
config.htmlTag_langKey = nl
config.sys_language_uid = 0
[browser = msie]
config.htmlTag_setParams = xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v=?urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml? xml:lang="nl"
[globalVar = GP:L = 2]
config.language = en
config.locale_all = en_EN
config.htmlTag_langKey = en-EN
config.sys_language_uid = 2
[globalVar = GP:L = 2] && [browser = msie]
config.htmlTag_setParams = xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v=?urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml? xml:lang="en"
And finally
Page module: edit Root page... added to Tsconfig:
mod.SHARED.defaultLanguageLabel = nederlands
mod.SHARED.defaultLanguageFlag = nl.gif
What do I miss or do I do wrong. Once I know how to get Dutch and English working, adding Brazilian is piece of cake. Who can help me? Thanks to much
By the way the temporary development URL of the site is http://zending-amazones.bb-hosting.org

Here is an update. On my personal website I used the following work instruction:

http://www.training-typo3.com/2008/12/15/typo3-multi-language/comment-page-1/#comment-1153

However for typo3 4.4.2 there is an error in the work instruction sub 2. creating website languages: you must not click on the globe but one level higher on the typo3 icon. Nevertheless I get stuck at chapter 7 Creating a language selector on the typo3 website. WHO CAN HELP ME, A BEGINNER??
