Literal word for word translation: There are two tomorrows. OR. There are two yesterdays
This is meaningless in English.
What is meant is कल दो प्रकार के होते हैं।
Only a person knowing Hindi can understand this, as he knows that कल  can mean “yesterday” and it can mean “tomorrow” as well
To an English speaker who does not know Hindi at all I would translate it as

There are two days designated as “Kal”

Incidentally,  this was discussed here nearly three years ago in Nov 2011
