What I did wrong?

I read all policies of IMDB. I already posted small plots, reviews, etc, some years ago. Now I posted a small plot summary for a Portuguese documentary about the earthquake of 1755 and it was declined without further explanations. 
I just want to understand because I found no explanations.

joaoialima: I think I see the problem.

You submitted this as a Plot Summary. But IMDb requires Plot Summaries to be in English. (See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/plots/G56STCKTK7ESG7CP#summary.)

On the other hand, Plot Outlines are allowed to be submitted in some other languages, including Portuguese. If you submit this as a Plot Outline in Portuguese, it ought to be accepted, with one minor change: A Plot Outline can be no more than 239 characters long, and this plot is 240 characters long. So you will need to make it just a little bit shorter to have it accepted as a Plot Outline.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
