Google translate between Icelandic and English has gone from 75% useful, 25% laughable nonsense to mostly unusable in the space of a year. You used to be able to use it effectively as a dictionary. Enter a single word and you'd get the most common dictionary translation
Now, half the time you'll just get nonsense.
@baldur Icelandic appears to be a forgotten language. It’s notable that Duolingo still doesn’t cover it – although that’s perhaps for the best, given its shift towards AI and automation.
It’s a bit sad that mini-G is learning Spanish and now German in Duolingo, and French at school, but we haven’t yet found a suitable means of getting Icelandic into her head, in self-learning times. (Drops was OK for vocab, but that’s all it does – nothing more.)
