    Wrong.
    Why would you think that this is a problem in a first place?
    Are you saying that sites with articles in other languages posse some problems?

    Only if your articles are lacking good and useful content

    Hi fastreplies, thanks for your helping. I guess is a problem, because i was rejected from few directories for this reason. One of them said i have a different language on my site, and few of them saying my website has few pages in english and few in other language, instead of using a single one with option to translate it.

    My intention was to rank english pages for speciphic keywords like> destination photography, and the same i was doing for few videos, are you sure everything is ok with this? It's very important

    Right.
    English language Directories would reject sites (our would) if Title and Description
    in other than English language but... SEs are totally different story.

    They will crawl and Index your site regardless of what language, font size or color,
    backlinks or not at all, and place you in SERP based on nothing else but CONTENT.

    If there are people who are using "keywords" in your language you have no reason
    to be worried about penalties or any other things that have anything to do with guessing.

    There is no problem as for as both websites are unique ie, no duplication of content,etc...

    You should make 2 separated directories, subdomains or even 2 different domains with different extensions and you should be fine.
