Christopher Sanders: Bilingual Dictionaries oflcelandic
5 Conclusion
55
There is a lot to be thought about when plartning dictionary projects
- and one of the problems is of course who will finance a long term
strategy with a perspective? As long as the University of Iceland is
prepared to invest resources in linguistics technology (Icelandic: 'tungu-
tækni') there is a good chance that standards of excellence will be
reached that will greatly enhance the possibility of obtaining grants
for development from international agencies and research bodies. Pri-
vate companies in Iceland cannot hope to produce the necessary in-
vestment, so it is up to the Icelandic state to continue to encourage,
by virtue of suitable educational offers, the youthful talent that is at
present available with a view to what this can bring home to Iceland
in terms of foreign investment in the knowledge industry. Applica-
tions developed in Iceland can be further adapted and used all over
the world. You reap what you sow.
