Hi a2ztranslate, welcome to WebmasterWorld How old is the site? Give it at least a coule of months to get indexed.
Inbound links? Do you have 'em? At least a couple would do you good. In general it takes time for a new site or new pages on an old site, to get in. Have patience - good luck! :)

>few inbound links, but mostly from english pages. i wonder if this could eb the problem? Probably not. A link is a link and should get the spider to crawl your site. Linking struckture is valid? Eg. links are in href format (no javascript etc.?) Try checking it with the Sim SPider: [searchengineworld.com...]

a2ztranslate, I have a similar multilingual setup, without indexing problems.
(other than Alltheweb exagerating the number of pages on my site) If what Rumbas suggests does not help, try contacting Alltheweb. They can be very quick in helping.

thanks everyone for the advice tried the spider suggestion, and when it goes to spider one of the lead language pages www.domain/language/index returns error code 500, meaning a timeout. sure enough, it cannot spider beyond the index page of each language. whta it does do is misread the url: instead of www.domain/language/index, it produces www.language/index. there is no java or anything else in the site, just straight static html. got me stumped. any advice much appreciated.

>instead of www.domain/language/index, it produces www.language/index Are you using absolute URL's http://www.domain.com/language/page.html or just relative /language/page.html in your HTML? You should be using absolute or at least insert a base href link:
<base href="http://www.domain.com/"> to tell the spider the root domain. Try that and put the Sim Spider on it again.

Wonder if other engines were able to spider the pages? It certainly sounds like an error in the code though.
