I need to be present in 3 countries with diferent languages with the same site. The site will be in those 3 lang.

I wonder if registering 3 domains one .com , a com.languaje1 and a com.lang2 and putting the content in the .com hosting, plus redirecting from .com.lang1 and 2 to com is a good solution...

In that case how? parking? 301?

Will that like SE?
Will that like dmoz?

Any other way?

One domain, with a shared domain for each langauge besides Engish would be fine. Ex:

www.mydomain.sp.com -> Spanish
www.mydomain.fr.com -> French

If you domain name is language specific, you may want three separate (country specific?) ones.

redirecting from .com.lang1 and 2 to com

I assume you mean that you would have some kind of "sniffer" that would send the user to the appropriate language site. Someone else may be able to help you more here.

I would also have them all linked (with cute little flag buttons?) to each other.

DMOZ will list each foreign language version in the appropriate regional category. I'm not sure what's involved in foreign SEs. I would assume they'd spider you and find you. I'm not in foreign markets.
