Multilingual License is ok, but Multilingual Readme is empty (text empty). Where an error?

If to make so:
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_README "ReadmeEnglish.rtf"
instead of:
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_README "$(MyReadme)"
the page is displayed correctly, but always in English.

Help me, please. How correctly to make multilingual Readme page ?

What is $(MyReadme) anyway? If it's a definition, it has to be defined on your definitions table e.g.
!define MYREADME "local_path_to_text_or_rtf_file"
and use it later as,
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_README "${MYREADME}"

The way you use it is referring to a lang string which also has to be defined on your lang strings table therefore it represents a specific language string and not the path to a local file.
