Where should I submit ?

First of all let me congratulate the ODP team for this forum initiative. Great knowledge tool!!

We have a hotel website ( http://www.palazzosasso.com ). Site is in 2 languages (English and Italian). Main language beeing English.
The site was actually submited in the following category which is not related to hotel or lodging.
http://dmoz.org/World/Italiano/Regionale/Europa/Italia/Campania/Provincia_di_Salerno/Localit%c3%a0/Ravello/
1.- is it necessary to ask for a move to a more appropriate category?
2.- are we allowed to submit to a second category (in english) like http://dmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Italy/Regions/Campania/Travel_and_Tourism/Lodging/Hotels/

Many thanks in anticipation for your help or advices.

If your site content for both English and Italian speaking audiences you can be listed in both the English and Italian sections of the directory.

If you feel your Italian listing is not in the correct category you can submit an update url request and put in the note the category that you think is better suited for your site.

Hope this helps -

Yes, absolutely. For this purpose please ignore the submittal guidelines and submit the site to both languages. But -- help us out a little here. Many editors are American or otherwise monolingual. In the Italian-language category, submit an Italian title and description. In the English-language category, submit an English title and description.

If I (reading English only) see a site with Italian title and description, I'm just going to send it over to a World/Italiano category....where the editor can read the description, but may not be able to write an English description to send back with the English content.

(Perhaps I should mention that this is a general request, not a personal rebuke. I haven't seen the submittals for this particular site.)

American = monolingual? Interesting definition. <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's an old European Joke.

"What do you call someone who speaks three languages?" "trilingual"
"What do you call someone who speaks two languages?" "bilingual"
"What do you call someone sho speaks one language?" "American"
