Well, there's an ON to English Dicionary available, but your right,
the other way around is hard to find. Nonetheless,
www.Midhnottsol.org has the Zoëga dictionary available free online.

In fact, I know that they still need help from anyone who can type in
íslenzku. Although íslenzka er ekki móðurmál mitt, I still edit for
them. See their site for details on how to complete the online Zoëga
project.

Pardon the Mið nótt sol plug; it is ON related. Speaking of which,
are mið nótt and miðnætti used in the same way? Or is one "in the
middle of the night" and the other "midnight"?
