How to build a two-language website?

Like: When you enter www.XXXX.com，it will appear a language choosing page. And the data will save in two databases.(certainly using UTF-8)

I think that I need to edit the php files to achieve.

If someone can do this, please help me..

I could be wrong but I think that it is a recommended to have your content in different languages on different pages. So what you could do is have your home page be the site where the user picks a language, and from there you can take them to a landing page in the language they picked. So there is no need to really modify a php file (the language on the page.tpl.php file up by the doc type should be changed). If you do not want your users to always have to pick a language every time you can use some php to set a cookie and next time the user goes to your home page they will be directed to the landing page of the language they picked.
