An example might be helpful,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit

The centered language links are accomplished by this MediaWiki:Common.css:

#p-Google_translations.portlet li,
#p-Google_translations.portal li {

  text-align: center;
}
#panel div#p-Google_translations div.body,
#mw-panel div#p-Google_translations div.body {
  margin-left: 0px;
}
