duplicate-content

My concern is about SEO. Now let me explain the scenario.

I am making a 3 languages website. The development is alright, but I was targeting local customers with one domain, and international (english version) with another. Eg:

Local http://www.minhalojadesapatos.com.br (this is not the real website, just example!)

Other http://www.myshoesstore.com.br

Both domain point to exactly the same hosting and content, but when user comes through local domain, default language is set to portuguese, otherwise, default is english. Language handling on backend uses PHP Sessions and cookies, so with just a click users can change content language.

How to avoid being SEO-penalised in this context? (yeah, I was hungry when focusing market for choosing two domains but the activity really needs that, it is a travel agency).
