We have nothing whatsoever against Norwegian, but HN is an English-language site, so this is off topic here.

Understood. Google Translate does a formidable job of rendering the story in English, so I’ve resubmitted the translation.

We mostly treat those as off topic too except in rare cases. If a news story is significant enough to appear on HN, there is almost always (or soon will be) an English language article about it that can be submitted directly.

But I appreciate your desire to submit a relevant story and will leave that one unmoderated.

I would rather see the original piece of reporting.
