A language issue

Hello everybody. I'm having a big dilemma right now. Medapedia is going to be a bilingual wiki, this means, in english and spanish. However, I need to deal with the search system. I have a multilanguage manager that shows a "language" tab on every article, letting the user search for a translation. This is not enough as it needs extra clicks. I want to use Polyglot for automatic redirects depending on the user's browser language (yet they can visit the other article using the tab). But...

-What about articles with different names in spanish? Say, Medarotch and Medarreloj? (Both referencing the same thing)
-What about other kinds of searches, like Parts names? (Revolver, one of Metabee's arms)

What are your suggestions regarding languages? Thank you beforehand!

It would be diffiuclt to have them on the same URL, I think you should set a sub-domain

i think he decided to do both languages in one wiki instance before starting this thread.

That's correct. I could set a sub-domain but not a new wiki because of the restrictions of my web host.
