Your questions seem solved. Great.
If you want, feel free improve the wiki documentation for this feature.

Correction.. Use the code zh when you enable multilanguages. This will enable Impress CMS to automatically change to Chinese when it encounters a Chinese enabled browser.

Ok that was it. For anyone else struggling with this. Add all the files from the language pack. Rename the schinese_utf8 folders to schinese. In the control panel go to preferences:multilanguage and Enable multilanguage. If you did not install the french language pack, delete the fr and french. They are there by default, but the french language pack is not installed by default. Under "Multilanguage tags" add cn. Next to "Language names" add schinese. This name must match the name of the folders that were added by the language pack as well as the corresponding flag image located in the images folder. Next to "Language captions" Put what you would like to be displayed as the alt text for the flag image that users click to switch to that language. In this case I put 中文 which are the Simplified Chinese characters for the word "Chinese" (just in can you can't see them). Under "Charsets" add another UTF-8 separated by a comma (or just use the one that was already there for french). Click "Go" to save your changes. Then go to control panel: Blocks: and make the language selection block visible, or simply add the tag
English Nederlands 
wherever you would like the language buttons to appear. I hope that makes sense, because this was not at all clear to me at first. Good luck.

I am reading the instructions here:
http://wiki.impresscms.org/index.php?title=Multilanguage
In Preferences > Multilanguage settings
It says I should enter the required Multilanguage pair names:
examples are:
en = English
fr = French
es = Spanish
de = German
... etc

I only see en,fr. Do I need to add something here? If so what?

I couldn't find a Chinese language pack in the addons repository, but i found one linked on this forum. Here is where I downloaded the Chinese language pack I am using:
http://impresscms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/impresscms/languages/schinese/branches/impresscms_1.1/?sortby=date
Is this the same one you're using? Because there seems to be something wrong.

If it is this complicated to get multilanguages working, the language packs really should include a readme file.
I really can follow directions. Honest I can..

it keeps showing French as a option, but I did not install french. if you choose french from the multilanguage block, nothing changes. This is a fresh install. I haven't changed anything except adding the schinese pack.
