1. dictionary knowledge.

   Og í þeim mun liggur líka ástæða þess að tölvurnar, hversu miklum orðabókarfróðleik þær verða fóðraðar á, munu aldrei geta þýtt margslunginn litteratúr.

   And in that distinction also lies a reason that computers, regardless of how much dictionary knowledge they are fed, will never be able to translate complex literature.
