And the local path to the gems must be added to the bin paths. This is shell specific. Example for zsh:

$ vim ~/.zshrc
[...]
# local ruby gem binary folder
if which ruby >/dev/null && which gem >/dev/null; then
    PATH="$(ruby -rubygems -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')/bin:$PATH"
fi
[...]

Log out and in again to apply changes.

Then clone this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/scheibler/nanoc-multilingual-theme.git

Lastly, rename files and folder:

cd nanoc-multilingual-theme
mv content.example content
mv nanoc.yaml.example nanoc.yaml
mv rules.example rules

To create a new blog article use:

rake new_post "Deutscher Artikelname" "English article name"

The theme should be self-explanatory. For further information see nanoc's documentation at http://nanoc.ws/docs/.
