News: no obvious way to translate link/summary-only news
Visit https://inkscape.org/de/news/2016/ , scroll down to the article about the new privacy policy (dated June 6th 2016, published End of April 2017 - never noticed you published it, @doctormo ... ).
Click on any of the links, and you will get to the cms page for privacy policy. The 'news only' page is not accessible, so translation is not possible, unless you have permission to access the admin interface.
