My site is now translated into 12 and later 16 languages. I'm not looking for a Guinness-entry, it's just for fun. I assume that each language could be submitted to a dmoz category under that language.

Questions:

Should I, for each language, submit the relevant entry-page (e.g. www.mysite.com/russian.htm) or always the top page (www.mysite.com) regardless of the language?

Submitting the subpages might make things easier to the dmoz-editors, but what about my rankings. Isn't it better to have many incoming links to one (important) page than having one link to many (no so relevant) pages. Of course not all languages are equally relevant.

:aloha: I noticed one thing about dmoz. The directory-tree for "small" languages (e.g. estonian) often has few levels and few entries at each level, but often a high Google-pagerank (PR). Does a site (default language english) actually benefit more getting a link from a dmoz PR6 page (e.g. in estonian) with few entries than from a dmoz PR4 deeply nested page (in english) with many entries ???
(As far as I know the PR of a page is divided amongst the links on that page.)

Are there other directories similar to dmoz worth submitting to? I mean directories having a top-level category for each language.
