For me it's in Dutch, it must detect my language and adapt (since HN block non-English content)?

There's a blue button at the bottom center to revert to the original language.
Presumably they are doing that based on browser or OS language settings rather than IP-based location? As an English-speaker living in a German-speaking land nothing infuriates me more than websites that assume I would rather have German language content simply based on my IP address rather than checking my system language.

But yes, to confirm your assumption - I followed the link above and got the English version.
