Summorum Pontificum on Vatican website available only in Hungarian & Latin

As noted in Fr. Z's blog (December 30, 2010), the Supreme Pontiff’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum is still provided only in Latin and Hungarian on the Vatican website:

Languages equally comprehensible to liberals.

Does this seem right to you?

This is an important document of a Pope’s pontificate.

Shouldn’t it be in the main languages in which the Holy See released documents including, say, English?

Do the people who run that website, or oversee those who do, not think the Holy Father’s documents are important?
What does this do but provide a convenient excuse to those bishops who wish to ignore the Motu Proprio and do nothing to help the Holy Father implement his stated objectives in Summorum Pontificum and accompanying Letter to the Bishops.
