If by XML templates you mean structired contents in in defferent languages,
then all you need is just a presentatinal template in Unicode.
The problem usually arises with non-european languages which probably would
not fit into a european page layout.
As to language selection, you might want to consider an explicit selection
of a language in the menu for the language detected automatically, is not
always what a visitor wants.
