There are plugins that allow you to create multiple language versions of each desired page within your site, as opposed to creating a new site, much less a Multisite. The latter is overkill for your needs, from what it sounds like thus far.
In any case, to answer your question, you need to create a new site by going here:
WP-Admin > Network Admin > Sites
To replicate your existing site, you need to export from your current blog and import into your new one, thus your sub-site, and adjust the settings/plugins to your needs.
Good luck.

Thank you JHouse.
I do not want a plugin which translates my articles via online translation (such as Google Trad). I need something cleaner.
I created a new site via “WP-Admin > Network Admin > Sites”, but when I wand to manage it I get an error that says my lang.website.com/wp-admin does not exist.
What’s the matter here ?
Thanks
No problem Alpham, you’re welcome.
Have you set up wildcard sub-domains with your web host, perhaps through cpanel? If not, they may be the case as it’s trying to visit the new site and sub-domain “lang.”
By the way, I wasn’t referring to a language translation program, as yes, they’re kinda janky. I’m talking about providing a legit translation for each page, then redirect the user to the right translation (that you’ve provided), with the help of one of the aforementioned language plugins. It’s a relatively simple process, much simpler than setting up and maintaining a Network, even for just two sites. Just sayin’…
