Economics.  Translating and publishing scholarly works is normally not very
profitable, so only internationally reknowned scholars and works which can
sold in the popular market get translated.  The BEST works may get
translated and published, right beside the WORST works.  What does not get
published is the competent and thorough research of limited scope. 

In addition, scholars are expected to be multi-lingual.  Most have several
languages  and often scholarly needs are met by a translation of an original
work into a language other than English.

BTW, the two pages with Portuguese recipes on that site are:
