Yeah, from the comments on the blog: "The German market would be Germany, Switzerland and Austria. That's over a hundred million people. Works for me "

German speaking market is big enough and rich enough to solely focus on it+less competition compared to English speaking countries.

The "blog" article is in English because it's posted in an English speaking community (who are presumably more interested in the story than the software itself).
It's "promoted" on HN by someone other than the author, it seems.
The target market is probably Germany. The post mentions amount of money in euros, but never other currencies used in English-speaking countries. It make sense to not internationalize the website if the product doesn’t fit the international market (I bet invoices have different legal requirements everywhere).
