Non-English submissions are not going to get widely upvoted unless we get a link to an English translation.
Currently, that means you should post a link to an English translation of the great Spanish CS article you found. A babelfish translation should be good enough.
Ideally, HN would recognise when you were submitting a link to a non-English article, and automatically provide a link to an automatic translation as well / instead. (And should perhaps do this for links in comments as well.)
(Chrome has this sort of automatic translation built-in, but I'd guess that less than half of the HN userbase uses Chrome.)
