I'm not sure how this can be accomplished. SMF has a file (Settings.php) that specifies what language to use on the forum. You will essentially need two forums to do what you want there.

Why not just allow your users to choose? Use something like the Language Drop Down mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=598).

You can upload the mod into the SMF package manager and install them via that, if you haven't already tried.

I don't believe that that particular mod has any settings, it functionality should now be enabled. It will have added a language drop down box to your forum. Although if you are using a custom theme then you will have to perform the './Themes/{themename}/index.template.php' edit, that is shown on the 'Manual Install Instructions for SMF' page. The mod is only installed for the core SMF theme by default.
