Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
I thought that if submit each version I would start ranking in each local Google. What do you think?
Any other tips? Thanks in advance?

That being said, just submitting your various subdirectories won't help unless you actually have links to those URLs.
The most common way to do this with multi-lingual sites is to link to the various language specific subdirectories from other places on your site. Some sites will link to the various subdirectories from the main homepage of the site, and others will place links to the different language versions on each page of the site.
The basic idea is allowing the flow of link juice to make it to the various language specific versions of your site. Once you link to those versions, Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. will all find those directories and spider them without you ever needing to submit them.
You'll also likely want to submit those versions to language specific directories as well.
As to directories, don't just submit to any directories, but quality ones where you might already have your site listed. Most will have areas for language specific sites. Basically, you will want to do the same type of link promotion you did/do for your main site for the language specific versions.
