I am drawn to the idea of a first-person perspective, for I wish the reader to feel the heroine’s uncertainty and burden as keenly as possible — to peer into her mind, into the very depths of her soul.

I’ve officially founded a team called Silent Voice.
At present, it consists of just one person — myself. My solo abilities are sufficient to deliver high-quality translations into Russian and Ukrainian, though in a few months there may well be an expansion or collaboration with other projects.

To be quite honest, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s best to combine the two approaches: using AI to receive some guiding markers, and then applying your own reasoning from there. It strikes a balance, and helps you avoid becoming overly reliant on AI :)

Could you please clarify what you mean by ‘using Google’? Do you mean a Gemini summary, or manual reading?

But before I get that far, I want to design a GUI with Tauri, so that I don’t have to create .cldl archives manually. What’s more, I don’t want to be the only person using this project.

CLDL stands for ConLang Description Language. In essence, it’s just a ZIP archive, but with the .cldl extension. Inside, there will be YAML files, each describing a particular aspect of a language in a machine-readable way.

Even despite that, there's a silver lining. This language didn't change for a thousand years. Literally. It's a part of their culture, so I don't worry much

Ah, no, no. It's okay. It's hard to learn even Russian or English here, let alone Icelandic (it's an extremely rare language here with almost zero speakers in Russia).
I have only one resource now, but I'm still getting used to reading 19th-century Russian

If I'm not mistaken, Māori is an endangered language? It's good to hear that someone is so eager to learn it. But what was your reason to start?
