    Hi Vale,

    I think this is really a good question.

    Here are my suggestions for your questions:

    * Yes, you can add sub domain in Google Webmaster tool as Google treat sub domains as different domains.

    * If you have sites with different languages say Spanish and German versions for a business, the preferences should be:

    1. ccTLDS such as example.es or example.de
    2. After than, sub domains such as es.example.com or de.example.com.
    3. If that’s not possible, I’d use subdirectories such as example.com/es/ or example.com/de/ .

    In these cases Google will not penalize these sites.

    Hope this will help you :)

    I don't think so we can get banned for providing different language option in sub domain names .

    Yes, you can! A subdomain is considered as ANOTHER website (in the eyes of SE spider); so its OK to add Google WEbmaster Tools Codes on your subdomain and main domain.
