{% trans %}North Saami → Norwegian builds on Nils Jernsletten's dictionary Álgosátnegirji (4300 words), but now contains 25000 words. Norwegian → North Saami contains about 26000 words. {% endtrans %}

{% trans %}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.{% endtrans %}

{% trans %}sme ↔ fin{% endtrans %}

{% trans %}Dictionaries for North Saami and Finnish are based on lexical material from the Institute for the Languages of Finland, and from Giellatekno's work with the North Saami Oahpa. In addition, we have included frequent words from North Saami, but especially from Finnish.{% endtrans %}

{% trans %}In both directions there are about 11,000 entries.{% endtrans %}
