>How much does Norse literature lose out in translation in your opinion?
Prose? Nothing really, if I were to venture a guess, but I can't speak for languages I don't speak, nor specific translations; different authors and their own understandings and perceptions matter too, and not just the languages they transfer contents between.

Poetry? Yeah, nah, maybe a Scandinavian language (Brate's translations are actually good, as he preserves the meter), but yeah, nah.
The incel poem is a classic. Can't transfer that well.
