Drupal comes with some amazing tools that facilitate maintaining a bi-lingual site. You effectively can have several versions of each page, as well as of menus and templates set up for different languages. These can be invoked automatically when the default language of the browser matches, or visitors can use the conventional buttons (e.g., a button at the top of each page to switch to the other language - "Spanish" when the "English" version is shown; then the opposite). The system also makes it easy NOT to have the entire website translated, so some pages may only be in one language or the other.
