My experience with that site is from their North Sami - English version.
 From what I've seen, they just take entries from various sources without
actually knowing the language and many mistakes occur; for instance, they've
clearly taken entries from my page  
(http://www.uta.fi/~km56049/same/svocab.html) along with any  
misspellings that have found their way into the vocab (including  
faulty char codes &0269; instead of &#0269;, etc.). I'm not sure what  
can be done about the site frankly.
