           url(r'^', include('flatpages_i18n.urls')),
       )

In your HTML template:

{% load i18n flatpages_i18n %}

{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% get_flatpages_i18n as flatpages_i18n %}

<ul>
    {% for flatpage in flatpages_i18n %}
        <li><a href="/{{ LANGUAGE_CODE }}{{ flatpage.url }}">{{ flatpage.title }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
