2 forums... one database

Hello,

Is it possible to run a forum on lets say domainname.com/forum1/ and another on domainname.com/forum2/ and have both use the same sql database?

The reason I ask is that I have members that speak in two different languages and would like to give them the option of choosing which language to have the forum in. That way I can have one forum be on one language, the other in the other language and have members post simultaneously from both forums and update the same database.

Would this break anything?

Thanks in advance!
