How to generate 'Dual website' in two languages?

As I want to make a website in two languages, I need two navigation bars where the one is a translation of the other. In fact I use the same pages twice but in different languages. Is this possible with Magix Website maker?

The best way I could suggest off the top of my head is probably to set up a menu hierarchy of two levels. The upper level would just have two entries and switch between the two languages, the 2nd level would hold the actual website with all the content pages. Please keep in mind that this is only possible in the "Deluxe" subscription of Website Maker. This is the only one that supports sub navigations. I think there have been several contributions here in the past about sub navigations in general and how to set them up.

You would still be facing some restrictions when using e.g. the contact form or guestbook items. They would only be available in the language that your Website Maker is registered in. The text on these items cannot be customized at this point.
