Yes you are right, the code should be placed in the main template setup

If you want to make it like mentioned in the tutorial, please keep in 
mind to include the +ext Template in your main template, otherwise your 
setup will not be included. You should check that in Template Tool 
(Template -> Select your template -> upper right corner Template Analyzer).

You should see something similar to this:

--styles.content (or css depends on what you're using)
-.... different plugins
-+ext Language
main template

In this case all your definitions are placed in the right order and your 
page should be able to display both languages. You can try this by 
appending a simple &L=1 (or 2, depends on your language-id) to any link 
in the frontend. You should know be able to see the different language page.

Your language menu is made available as follows:

copy the langauge-script from media to your fileadmin folder or make 
sure it is in your media - folder.

Then insert a marker in your HTML-Template (I normally would call it
###LANGUAGE_SELECTOR###

in your page template setup you have to enable that marker:

first create a temp-object
temp.language = PHP_SCRIPT
temp.language.file = fileadmin/template/ext/languageMenu.php

then assign this one to your subpart

marker.LANGUAGE_SELECTOR < temp.language

That should do the trick.
