Multi-language "optimisation"

    This is not an issue with the WordPress installation per se, but I wanted to build a site which is bilingual. For this I’ll have 3 subdomains:
    two for each of the languages I want to make the site available and one for images and static data. The reason why I do this is because I not only want to change the language of the interface, but rather that I’m trying to write the same content and the same posts in two different languages. Is there any way that I could make this without installing two WordPress instances on each of the subdomains and have to keep two instances of the same files (instead of just simply redirecting the users to the appropriate subdomain and keep separate database entries for the two languages?
    I apologise in advance if this was asked before, I searched for over an hour and haven’t found any references over any of the forums. Also I’m sorry if I posted in the wrong sub-forum, I didn’t find any of them to be appropriate for this question.

    There is more than one way to accomplish this but I’ve read very good things about this http://wpml.org/ or you can try this http://polylang.wordpress.com/ too 🙂

    Thank you for the suggestions but I’d rather go with the second option. =)
    Still not quite what I would be looking for, I was mostly hoping I could split the site versions in subdomains, makes it look a tad bit more professional. And I was hoping by this method I’d reduce the “footprint” of the site, although this isn’t required. I’ll wait to see if there are any other suggestions posted here.
