You could create your site and have everything in the
root directory. It would work but it would be a nightmare
to maintain. Therefore one uses subdirectories (folders)
to organize one's site.

Subwebs are really just subdirectories (with some special
properties). Therefore why don't you use subdirectories
on your site to organize your various language versions.

What I have done on one such site is to have English
(titled "eng") & Spanish (titled "esp") subdirectories
off the root. In each of those subdirectories, I have
included other subdirectories which are named to mirror
my "menu" items of the site. By the way, I title these in
my native language. Your Page Title Property, which is
displayed in the browser title bar should be in the
language of the page in question.

I then include an "index" page in my root directory for
the "home" page in each language, "index"
and "index_esp". The home pages include prominent links
to the other language. I use the words "Engiish"
and "Espanol". You have to decide which langauge to be
the default language and make that page your site's
actual index/home page. Then you are good to go!

I am sure there are many other ways to accomplish this
task but this works for me. Good luck.
