That's because of a separate issue, which is that the article is not in English. That's not out of disrespect for the Dutch or the Dutch language (quite the opposite) but it is the convention of the site.

No, it's always been this way. But we miss some cases, because we don't come close to seeing everything on HN.

Thanks for the clarification! I see now an English version has been posted with quite a lively discussion :)
