As of now, these are two totally seperated (duplicated) seperate installs. Next step would be to share css and background-graphics from the same folder.

I've been wondering for quite long time how to make a bit easier maintaining of multilang website and make it still SEF'ly.
You used 2 GS instances, thus to have a bit more automated management, those instances would have to share same session between each other, and backend theme would have to get a linky to 2nd admin panel.
I still wonder why I couldn't find out simpler method at the beginning
I advise you to install Mvlcek's advanced menu plugin, and reorganise a bit the site structure.
Create main language containers (just an ordinary pages), mark existing pages in their options as subpages of main lang. container page (index page will load automatically, thus move this page to default language container) The last thing to setup is to display 2 instances of the same menu.
First menu should show only top lvl pages w/o siblings, thus it will simply become a "change language" menu.
The "main" menu will have to be initialised beginning from 2nd lvl of siblings.

If there would be any problems, you can always prepare 2 themes and hardcode menu's top levels in some way. You can also display siblings of certain parent
Don't forget to declare document languages.
This is just a raw solution, and still needs a bit polishing and working on nuances (for example root language page redirect rule to 1st page inside language container)

have fun

ps. there's of course Mvlcek's i18n plugin allowing easy management of multilanguage websites.
But as I mentioned, SEF had top priority, and default showmenu function offers only flat 1 lvl menu.
