French English Wordpress Install

[hayem]

I live in Quebec and most of my clients want bilingual (englis/french) website.
so far the best solution that i have found have two folder /english and /french and install the wordpress in both places.
do i create 2 separate databases or tables,any suggestions?thank you

When you access the WordPress install page after uploading it, one of the questions in the first step is "table prefix". You can use a single database with the same access information as long as you use two different table prefixes.

You could also go with just one WP install and use a multi-language support plugin.

is there a good reliable plugin where it translates menu buttons,text,..?
i have tried qtranslate but noticed when i upgrade to new version of wordpress it screws up my webpages.

Interesting issue.......

I will create 2 blogs 2 databases 2 languages ......... easy...... and why not maybe 2 different domains with 2 different extension........ then manage both separately.... in your case may work
