Here's one which, like others, uses modern Icelandic, but hey, it's better
than the number of Modern English to Old Icelandic dictionaries out there
(none, for obvious reasons):

http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran

InterTran has several advantages over most online dictionary programs I've
seen:

It will go in either direction between any two languages in its list of
twenty-odd languages.
It can handle multiple words at a time, but doesn't pretend that it's
translating sentences.
It offers multiple possible translations for each word.

The main disadvantage is that you can't just browse the entries, which is
often the easiest way to find a root word.
