Source material

sme ↔ nob

North Sámi → Norwegian builds on Nils Jernsletten's dictionary Álgosátnegirji (4322 words), but now it contains 30,000 entries, plus 6000 place name entries. Norwegian → North Sámi is based on the North Sámi → Norwegian dictionary, but we have added frequent Norwegian words. It contains about 26,000 Norwegian entries.

Approximately half of the content of the dictionaries is taken by searching for parallels in a parallel corpus of administrative text. This work was financed by the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation.

sme ↔ fin
