Very possible. In fact, part of core is a module called Locale. You'll also want to look at the Internationalization module. Documentation exists for translating in the Drupal handbook.

Some multilingual functionality is included in the D6 core, but this is usually not enough to build a good multilingual site. You need to install the i18n module - see http://drupal.org/project/i18n and references therein.

That module is not yet fully functional though so its not possible to make it work 100% as you want.

I think the main problem with i18n is translation of menu items in such a way that links should point to translated content (see e.g. "How to translate Menu items?" issue at http://drupal.org/node/230868).
Also, I was quite disappointed to find out that "Select node" option for translations is no longer available in Drupal6 as distinct from D5 (http://drupal.org/node/287146).
