Did you actually created language records at "globe" level, alternative 
page languages for page and content in other languages?

In fact it should not work at all because...

...you are missing [global] here.

Also you need to enable language switching in templavoila's DS. Check 
that you have <meta> section there that looks like:
<meta>
	<langChildren>1</langChildren>
	<langDisable>0</langDisable>
</meta>

and add the following to your TS setup:
	config.sys_language_overlay = content_fallback
