“ This must be the hottest land in the country right now”

Sigh.

This seems mainly a puff piece, maybe it’s the translation but little detail on who is selling, who is buying, or the price.

A rare exception to the old advice to "Buy land, they're not making it anymore."

finally I can become the Bond villain I always dreamed of

Is there an aquifer? Could be perfect for my dwarven fort.

Are you liable for your volcano?

I didn't know I wanted a volcanic land. how much?

Meta: I'm really happy that there is a non-english article on the front page of HN. Can we make this happen wore often?

Please can we not? And if we do, can can we make sure the title is at least in the same language as the article?

> -But is the earth pale?

> "Yes. Isn't everything folded for some money? It's all about crowns and auras when you get up, isn't it? "

It's the kind of article that makes me want to read it, but It's just really not a quality article for anyone but native speakers (or folks with better translations than Google)

Why the hell would you want to have non English articles? You also want us to discuss in Icelandic?

I think those are both different things. Reading is something only a person does, a discussion has to be in a language everybody can speak.

I think it shouldn't be a problem to have non English articles, as long as it's a good translation is provided in the post.

I tend to agree. HN is pretty much a global community and having this show in the selection of articles is a good thing IMO.

Automatic translation might still have to improve though.

I agree, if they're particularly interesting. There's a whole wealth of information out there that's not available in English, and machine translation tools are good enough to mostly make sense of most things nowadays.
