Ok. Now I'll give more details.

Plone has all translations of its interface compiled in .mo files in 
i18n folder. It have different translations there. In your case you need 
at least plone-en-ua.mo and plone-fr-ca.mo. To decide which language to 
use for displau of Plone UI there is Language Negotiator which picks up 
the target language from request/user_language and 
request/HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE. This will be improved later but it is in 
the way I've described right now.

For content you can use Localizer of course. Localizer has more sources 
for it's Negotiator (cookie, etc.).

You can make these Negotiators to work in sync or separately (for 
instance UI language to be per-user preference and content language 
contolled by application/portal logic).

So if you understood what I tried to explain, there is no problem to 
build dual-language Plone based CMS. Your task will be to develop 
dual-language content objects and make them play nicely with Plone Workflow.
