How hard is for a foreigner with a bachelor degree from overseas and Master degree from a Australian University such as Sydney University or Melboune University to enter in a Trainee program in Australia or in New Zealand?
I will have only two years of work experience from internship although I know Portuguese, English, Spanish and I am currently studying German and Japanese so hopefully I will be at a good level in both after finishing my master.
My bachelor degree will be in International relations and I will look for a master degree in subjects related to Public affairs or accounting
Some of it depends on where you did your undergraduate degree and any previous work experience you may already have. Most Australian employers will recognise a local post grad qualification. If you're going to do your masters here use it an opportunity to network, and use the Uni's career service to find a traineeship. Perhaps do an unpaid internship to gain some experience?

Your best bet is to apply for a Master's program to an Australian university and then get someone to sponsor you.
I am not looking for an sponsor, I think that it will be hard to participate in a trainee program while studying so I am looking to start the program after earning the master degree.
Somebody is going to have to sponsor your visa. Work experience is going to have more weight than a uni credential, but you will be able to work while you study.
New Zealand has a Study to Work program so that if you study in NZ and are then offered a job in your field, you can apply for a work visa for up to 2 years and then you may be in a position to apply for permanent residence. If you don't have a job offer, you can still apply for a one year visa to enable you to look for work in your field and then you can apply for a 2 year work visa once you've found one. I don't know if Australia offers something similar.
The masters will be local, more recent and advanced, and so it will carry much more weight than your bachelors, and the number and range of languages in which you have competency will also be a big plus, especially for any organisations with operations in South America.
Ichig, I had a look for you and Australia offers a post-study work visa scheme.
Under the post-study work stream you can apply for a visa for two, three or four years duration depending on what subject you studied, it applies to people holding an Australian Masters qualification and you must have studied for a minimum of 16 months. You can read all about it here Post-study work arrangements
