I think so.

No, 'manage_addLanguage' expects a single language id as parameter,
an string, don't pass it a tuple. Instead:

 for language in languages:
     self.manage_addLanguage(language)

eehh.. are you talking about LocalContent objects, right?

With the LocalContent class (and any other LocalPropertyManager
subclass) you edit one property at a time, but all its language
versions, so you really are editing both languages at the same
time.
