I want to create a multilingual site in sharepoint with one language as English and other language as Arabic. Now I my feeling I will have to use two master pages one for Arabic and other for English.
Now my question is , is it possible to have two masterpages or is there any other solution that I cap opt for.

You dont need to create multiple master page, rather you have to SharePoint Multilingual Site feature. following thing you get with it:
- Create, manage, and read content in different languages.
- Navigate a site in a preferred language.
- Collaborate with people in different regions, in different languages, in the same application.
- Manage personal sites by using a preferred language.
- Search and browse content across a company by using a preferred language.
