I'm not Dutch-speaking and tried registering -- successfully! There seem to be some purely English language articles/newspapers already there: I've found at least The Economist and WSJ/Wall Street Journal. Every new account seems to get free 2.50 EUR credit on start; later you can apparently pay with PayPal or credit card. (Note however, that I haven't actually tested reading any article or paying yet.) To create an account you have to "read" some Dutch -- but some common sense + Google Translate was enough for me to get through.

[Update] Tried reading something (from WSJ, fully in English indeed), then tested and confirmed that the "refund" works. Just FYI ("random trivia"), when clicking "refund", there's additional dialog asking for the reason. Translated by Google Translate roughly as:

Why do you want your 29 cents back? We want to know why you want your money back, so we can tell the author and publisher.

[ ] I accidentally clicked on the article

[ ] I find the price too high

[ ] The article was too short

[ ] The article was too long

[ ] The article was not what I expected

[ ] The article was not legible

[ ] Other...

Awesome that you got it working. We are working on launching an English version in the near future.

Regarding the refund reasons:

If you refund within a given amount of time, you actually don't have to provide any reason at all (since we figured you didn't read the article anyway). It is only after that time, that we ask you for a reason, so publishers get a better understanding of why people chose to ask for a refund after reading an article.
