About
The first version of this dictionary is really just a small list of Icelandic-English translations in a format which is easy to use for Natural Language Processing / Computational Linguistics. There are about 6000 word ids in version 1.0. A word id has the format lemma_posTag. The Part-of-Speech (PoS) tag indicates the word class ('n' for noun, 's' for verb, etc.) and in the case of a noun there is a second character for gender so 'nk' means noun-masculine, 'nv' means noun-feminine and 'nh' means noun-neuter.

In many cases more than one possible translation is given. The vocabulary is a mix of words that are generally common in Icelandic and words which are frequent in news texts. Because of the small size and simple presentation this is by no means a substitute for a 'real' Icelandic-English dictionary, but it can be useful if you don't have a licence for such a resource or if you just want to do some small scale experiments which require a mapping between the two languages. A few translations are prefixed with '*' which means a potentially correct translation for an incorrectly lemmatized word. Those entries are only relevant if you are using the Lemmald lemmatizer.

Errors
