In your APEX controller code there will be a place where you fill the {!countriesOptions}

There you can use custom labels like you do on the visualforce page.

The first parameter is the value you use in code (so the untranslated value), the second parameter is the label shown to the end-user. So assuming you have a country named 'US' in the picklist, you'd need to create a Custom Label for it, add translations in the required language(s), and use like this:

countriesOptions.add(new SelectOption('US',Label.COUNTRY_US));

That way the label will be shown on the VF Page to each user in their own language, but in the code you will always get the first parameter. E.g. selectedCountry2 will receive the value of the first parameter of the chosen country.

[SalesForce] Converting a SelectList to a MultiSelectPickList

Here is what that needs to be done to use the VF Component.

Add the following in your argument list

   public List<SelectOption> selNames {get;set;}
   public List<SelectOption> items    {get;set;}
   public List<String> selected       {get;set;}

Initialize them in the Constructor

selNames = new List<SelectOption>();
items    = new List<SelectOption>();
selected = new List<String>();

In your execute where you are getting accountid, add the following

if(accountid != null) {
    account a =[select name , (select name from Subsidiaries_and_Brands__r) from account where id =:accountid];

for(SubsidiariesAndBrands__c s : a.Subsidiaries_and_Brands__r) {
    items.add(new SelectOption(s.name,s.name));
   }
}
else
   items.add(new SelectOption('None','None'));

Finally when you select some values from left to right and click save, in the save method, add following to get the selected values.

   for(SelectOption so : selName){
       system.debug('Select vals ' + so.getValue());
       selected.add(so.getValue());
   }

The Visualforce page SelectOption would be replaced with following

  <apex:pageBlockSection title="Subsidiaries" id="SelectedSubs">
  <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >  
    <c:MultiselectPicklist leftLabel="Available Subsidiaries"
        leftOptions="{!items}"
        rightLabel="Selected Subsidiaries"
        rightOptions="{!selNames}"
        size="14"
        width="150px"/>
    <apex:pageBlockButtons >
        <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" rerender="selPanel"/>
    </apex:pageBlockButtons>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem> 
<apex:pageBlockSectionItem id="selPanel">  
<apex:outputPanel>
<apex:outputLabel >Subsidiaries Selected:</apex:outputLabel> 
<apex:repeat value="{!selected}" var="s">
<apex:outputtext value="{!s}" id="field"/> 
</apex:repeat>
</apex:outputPanel

[SalesForce] Creating record in visual work flow for each selected value from a multi select picklist

You can try the solution I wrote up here: Visual Workflow - Create multiple records based on dynamic choices

You have to assign the multi-select into a variable and store it on Obj1. It will be a text value with SalesForce IDs in it, separated by semicolons. You then have a trigger run through that string and create a detail record for each one.
