multiple languages question

Hello,

Today I submitted my website for approval/acceptance into DMOZ. It's currently in two languages with a further three languages to follow later in the year. Now the questions;

1: Do I have to wait until the English version has been approved before submitting other languages?

2: How do I submit in other languages?

3: How do I avoid getting penalised as “submitting multiple entries” for the same site, when it’s clearly not?

4: Anything else I should know?

Nope.

2: How do I submit in other languages?

The same way you did for the English version? Pick the most appropriate category in the right language in http://dmoz.org/World and suggest the site to it. Please use the root of the domain rather than a language deeplink, i.e. use the same URL for all of the suggestions.

3: How do I avoid getting penalised as “submitting multiple entries” for the same site, when it’s clearly not?

There are no automatic penalties for “submitting multiple entries”. Submitting to multiple languages is not a problem.

4: Anything else I should know?

Nope.

Well that was painless thanks.

Just one other question What if one of my languages is not listed on DMOZ?

I.e. Russian and Urdu

We have a Russian section, at http://dmoz.org/World/Russian .

The Urdu category, which is at http://dmoz.org/Test/World/Urdu , is not yet ready for the live directory but you should still be able to suggest your site there. (Not sure there's much point, since the categories in Test aren't a part of our RDF and so aren't used by our downstream users.)

thanks
