How to set up something that might let visitors the possibility to shift from one domain to the other?

hi experts of seo,
could you help me to set up my multilanguage site?

WHAT'S HAPPENED
we are translating our site and we have to DECIDE the best technical solution for us

SEO target:
we haven't decided yet, anyway  we are going to try to be ranked in other countries, especially in emergent countries

FINALLY we select the different domain strategy ( .it domain for the italian and .com for the english )

so what are my questions?
how to make them linking without having seo problem, maybe with a intro page ?
and how to set up something that might let visitors the possibility to shift from one to the other?

thank you very much

Guido

I'm not sure if the different domain strategy would work best for you. Perhaps having one .com and having subdomains on it such as site.com/en for english and site.com/it for italian would be a better way for you to preserve the link juice and authority the TLD has.

I don't have much international experiance so hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will help you with you approach. In the meantime, check this out.
