To publish an article that has been previously saved, "Edit" the article from the listing of articles at the bottom of the Administration -> Sections page.
From the drop-down list, select the language for which this article will be displayed, or "All" to have the article shown to all users of the site, regardless of their language setting. In this way, you could create English language articles that are displayed only to your English users.
