Translation...
I will very soon begin translating my whole website to make it available in spanish as well as in english. I have doubts on how we should go about implementing both languages for search engines, specially the picky google....
My idea is to use our URL re-write functionality and create two different URLS for the same page, one responding to those pages in english and the other to those in spanish.
Do you think this will be considered duplicate content? I don't think so, but I just wanted to ask anyone who has accomplished this before if this has effected thier rankings?

Why not just have two separate files? That's the way to go, maybe even two separate domains. You can copy verbatim right now in different languages so expand 2X.
