We present Parlce, a new English-Icelandic parallel corpus. This is the first parallel corpus built for the purposes of language technology development and research for Icelandic, although some Icelandic texts can be found in various other multilingual parallel corpora. We map which Icelandic texts are available for these purposes, collect and filter aligned data, align other bilingual texts we acquired and describe the alignment and filtering processes. After filtering, our corpus includes 39 million Icelandic words in 3.5 million segment pairs. We estimate that our filtering process reduced the number of faulty segments in the corpus by more than 60% while only reducing the number of good alignments by approximately 9%.
