2 Domains, 2 Languages, but 1 WP Install?

[stephanwb]

I've got a case who wants to have one english website at one domain targeting Hawaii/ USA (bodywellnesshawaii.com) and a spanish speaking one (bodywellnesschile.cl) targeting  Chile/ South America.

What's the best way to go about this? Just clone the current bodywellnesshawaii.com site, translate it and have it live on a separate WP install?

OR

Is there a way in which we can use just one WP install with multi language and have each language live on separate domains? Not sure whether that's even possible, but it would be easier to add content/ maintain...

Either one better for SEO?

Thanks in advance.

1 install across multiple domains can be done via domain mapping - and I recommend you do that.

The cctld domains will help you rank locally and having 1 wp installation requires much less maintenance. In addition, use a plugin like WPML to easily manage multiple languages and let it handle the SEO for you (by setting up proper sitemaps and hreflang tags)
