Thus, a site about Spain in English should not be placed in World/Español, but in Regional/Europe/Spain, or in a more specific thematic category.

Someone interested in these sites should find them through alternative language links and, being able to read sites these languages, also be able to read site descriptions in these languages.

• You may consider becoming a World editor for your category of expertise, if you feel comfortable reviewing the sites and writing a short description in the respective language.

• Move it to World/Français. Preferably, as deep down in the tree as possible. It's better the site lands in World/Français/Société/Généalogie than World/Français or World.

  The main categories in other languages are supposed to be structured more or less like the English. World/Français naturally doesn't have a category tree as detailed as World/English, but it's growing. Alternative language links might lead back to the English categories and help you identify the structure. Editors don't mind sending a Dutch site back from World/Deutsch/Internet/Suchdienste/Verzeichnisse to World/Nederlands from time to time.

• Try to identify the language:
  • maybe the top level domain helps identifying the language: http://www.hydro.no/ is likely to be in Norwegian, if it's not in English. Check the IANA list for details.
  • the "This category in other languages" (altlang) and "See also:" links often give useful hints, especially in Regional categories.
  • maybe the page has a language meta-tag
  • or use dlugan's language guesser tool Zaphod

• Proceed as in "What shall I do with a submission in French to the appropriate English language category I edit ?" or "This site is in [language-name], but World doesn't have a category in [language-name] yet"

• You know the language and want to edit it: Consult the official About the World Cat. If you are an editor, you can discuss the creation of a category for the language in the editor forum.
• You don't know it that well or don't want to: Send it to Test/World and note the name of the language in the ODP editor notes field.
• If the site is of linguistic value and has also content in English: editors of Language_and_Linguistics/Natural_Languages might want to list it.

• Sites with Foreign language descriptions
  • They may date back to the time when there wasn't a World top level section, so just move them to World.
  • If it's an entire category contact a World editor (forum or email) and ask him if he wants to take them. Of course they may have to be reviewed again, and descriptions translated, but keeping them together makes things easier and might allow to place them directly in the appropriate category.
  • A fellow editor recently added them. If it's just one monolingual site, contact the editor and politely advise him that you moved the site. Note that not all editors are aware of the World section. Some might think "Indonesia" on http://dmoz.org/ is just a country. That editor might also be interested in becoming an editor of the World category.
• Site's description in English
  • There might be a reason why the foreign language site is listed there, e.g. http://babelfish.altavista.com/ can be listed in many languages.
  • When the content of the site is another language, the site should be listed in the appropriate language and not in an English category. The idea being that someone interested in these sites, should find them through alternative language links and, being able to read sites these languages, also be able to read site descriptions in these languages. Sometimes though, sites on one subject are spread across 3-4 languages, which might make it difficult to check the 4 categories for 7 sites.
