Multi language site: SEO doubts

I'm building a site in my own language for a client (my first real one, apart from friends and relatives!). He also wants the english version of this site and wants it in a subfolder (myclientdomain.com/en/) . He also wants a mobile version.

Although the niche is a competitive one, being a local business I think I have no particular problems in reaching a good position on google search.
Nevertheless I feel unconfortable for the english version's SEO.

How will Google treat a complete site in a different language located in a subfolder? Is it something which might penalise the main site?

And what about the mobile site? I planned to put it in a subfolder (myclientdomain.com/mobi/) but I feel puzzled because I should make the english version of it too. What if i make a 2-language mobile site? will Google get upset?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I really feel confused.. :confused:

      As your domain is .com so i think google will treat your website in good manner if you optimize your website. English version SEO is very similar to local version and i think with .com domain you can have good position on google.... Cheers..

    I was very happy to see this as I'm in the same spot where i need to promote a site in many languages, each language is in a different page like yours.
    My questions is, do i create a for each language page a separate meta title?
    Is there anything to promoting a multilingual site that is especially important to know? or Is it simply building links in different languages that point each to it's owns language page?

      Yes, You should create meta tags for different language pages. Because I think when user select language option and go on that page, that page is different and url may be different.

    You can target two different audience, but you need to follow all webmaster guidelines, Webmaster Guidelines - Webmaster Tools Help.
    You need to create different meta tags for different language pages.
