That's your problem right there - you're using the previous generation of  
the Plone stack, which is not properly capable of multilingual content  
management. You should use Plone 2.1 and LinguaPlone 0.9.

Lingua Folder and Lingua Item were examples - don't use them for proper  
content management. Read the README. Invest your energy in getting your  
instance to Plone 2.1 instead. LP on 2.0 will be very painful in the long  
run.
