No multiple listings on DMOZ, what are the limits?

[french tourist]

I am preparing the submission of my website on dmoz. This is a large "personal pages" type of website about a hobby.

I have read the guidelines on dmoz.org :

Do not submit URLs that contain only the same or similar content as other sites you may have listed in the directory.  Sites with overlapping and repetitive content are not helpful to users of the directory. Multiple submissions of the same or related sites may result in (...) exclusion

and

Do not (...) submit the same URL more than once

I note the rule concerns an "URL" not a domain ; this is understandable since myriads of different websites are gathered together on, say, geocities.com

Now the specifics :

The problem of multiple languages :

My site is written in French, but I translate every page in (somehow French-sounding) English. So I could reasonably think of submitting both versions at :

Recreation > SubCat > Subcat > My_Hobby

and

World > Français > Subcat > Subcat > My_Hobby

(with two different URLs, one for the English index page, the other for the French index page).

Is that Bad and Naughty? Or perfectly legitimate?

The problem of sub-regional categories and sub-websites

Related to my hobby are a few sub-sub-sub-categories, rather deep in dmoz listings, looking like :

Regional > Europe > (...) > My_Hobby_Somewhere

Some of the sub-pages of my website (only two now, but it might increase) are relevant for these kinds of subcategories. I have noticed somebody listed on two of these categories for some subwebsites of his. Do you think it is legitimate to ask for these sub-inclusions?

(NB : to make things a bit more intricate and absolutely anecdotically, I am on dmoz from six months on, in one of these subsubcats, but not from my own will, I suppose I have been found and included by the editor who did not contact me - but the domain name used is an old one, now redirected on my present one).

french tourist,

Firstly, Welcome to Webmaster World [webmasterworld.com]!

On the submit page of DMOZ, it reads:

Submit non-English sites to the appropriate category under World.

and also:

You should submit a site to the single most relevant category

From this I read that a url, with the only difference being a page name, should only be submitted once.
I am a relatively new editor at DMOZ, but maybe one of the meta-editors could give their opinion, or you could ask over at resource-zone.com (the public forum for dmoz users).

Nobody will accuse you of spamming if you submit a French-language site to W/Français and an English site to the appropriate English-language category.

Thank you for the answers already coming.

Thank you also to be polite with me and not to tell me rudely "read the FAQ before annoying us". Hence I have to tell it myself (self-apology : dmoz.org was loading awfully slowly here in France, now that I know ch.dmoz.org things go much better). The matter of bilingual sites is very clearly covered somewhere in this FAQ and the answer is yes, one is allowed to submit twice.

As concerns sub-sub-domains, I am digging out the question on the existing posts of the forum, but it seems this is allowed too.

Don't forget, if you find your site is listed with an old URL, you can always update it. Visit [dmoz.org...] (changing CAT to the category where your site is listed). This submits the update to editors for verification.
