I want to add a second language (English) to an existing website (Spanish). I have name1.com redirected to name1.com.mx

Should I just create a subfolder, copy all the existing pages into it, and replace the text/menus on these new pages as needed and put links to the different languages version on all the pages?

OR

Should I use name1.com as the second language website and just put links to the different languages version on all the pages?

What would be the best way to go about it?
Which would be better to page rank?
Does anyone have any experience with that? Any suggestion or advise would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

David

Do you want both domains to go to the same exact site or both domains to go to two totally different web sites?

Hmmm... Well, I think that there it is where I have my douts. What would be more convenience in terms of SEO? The only think that'll change it is the language though the content it's the same.

Well Google usually doesn't like duplicate content, but not sure how that would be weighed with doing versions for multiple languages.  I'll see what I can find out there and if anybody else wishes to chime in please feel free to do so.
