Steps to reproduce the issue
Create a multilingual site with 4.0 (2 languages are enough)
The easiest way we have now is alas still a bit complex.
Make sure you installed one of the languages we can install: French, German, Persian
Make sure both Content Languages exist and are published.
Make sure the Language Filter plugin is enabled.
Create a language switcher module and publish it in the right position
Then, when admin language is en-GB, go to Control Panel and Install Blog sample data (items with be tagged to en-GB).
Go to Installed languages and switch admin to the other language (French for example)
Back to Control Panel and Install again Blog Sample Data. This time it will be tagged to French.
Then set the Blog(en-GB) menu Item to Home.
Set the Blog (fr-FR) menu item to Home.
Unpublish the main menu module (the one which contains the default Home set to ALL languages).
Set SEF and URL rewriting ON in Global Config (use htaccess )
Results
Go to Frontend and click on any menu (except the home page)
The menu About (en-GB) gives this url
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/about/en/
instead of
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/en/about/
and therefore a 404 as the URL Language Prefix (en) is not at the correct place.
Now click on one article in the Older Posts (en-GB) module:
For example Welcome to your blog (en-GB)
You get this url, whether in modern or legacy routing
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/en/?view=article&id=3:welcome-to-your-blog-en-gb
Not very nice...
Did not test other stuff.

Have same issue.
I have Search Engine Friendly URLs ON
Doesnt't matter if URL Rewrite is ON in my case
Have 5 Menus (2 Language English, 2 Language German, 1 Menu for ALL Language, which has no module position)
When I click in one of the seperated published language menus, the routing adds another language code at the end of the url.
Something like /en/about/en
That fires an 404 error.
When I remove the last en manually it works fine.
Switching the language with the switching Module (where I had difficulties installing (Get error: Save failed with the following error: Field 'content' doesn't have a default value), the URLs get ugly.
Like de/?view=article&id=2
There the second language code is't added. And it works without doing anything manually. But the URL is not nice...

This issue are also present in existing 3.8.7, I am about the submit a new issue but see this being reported for 4.0. The issue are quite similar as describe by Jean-Marie Simonet.
If you need to see sample, head to http://templatesreview.cloudaccess.host
click on any of the 2 articles in the homepage, you will always see ?view=article&id=4: follow by articele title then end with &catid=2
Note: the ID changes depending on the article and category of the article display
SEO Settings:

In your case it looks like there are no menu items configured except for the featured menu item (the home page). The router cannot use the featured item view in com_content to create SEF URLs as featured is a content state and not part of the content hierarchy.
I had raised a ticket for 3.8.7 at https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/20242 as it need to be fix or render multilanguage site not URL friendly

Looks like languagefilter.php line 146 needs to be PROCESS_BEFORE instead of PROCESS_DURING. That should fix it.
I'm afraid not
I meant better, but not fully
I get for example
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/fr.html
instead of
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/fr/
for home page
also
http://localhost:8888/installmulti/joomla40/?format=html
when url language code is set to not show for the home page of the default site language
I am closing this as the errors have changed since this issue was posted.
