--- Quote --- I got the impression that the island also gets better in comunicating with Harry over time.
I'm fairly certain you're impression is correct.

But that doesn't make it all knowing, especially in things beyond the island. On the other hand Merlin did create the prison, if he spoke with Alfred at the time, Alfred would understand his language.. If Bonny has the knowledge of her mother, Lash, she should be able to translate for Harry instantly, but I believe there have been hints that Bonny is no Bob and she and Harry are going to have some problems. Here is a thought, as Winter Lady, Molly's new found powers may enable her to do it for Harry.

I certainly wasn't implying that it did.

I doubt he taught Alfred to read in any case.
As Morris points out, the text is barely legible at best anyway. I'm pretty sure Harry would have to have help reading them. I'm also pretty sure Bob/Bonea/other supernatural beings wouldn't have a problem clearly seeing the text. Scientists currently use all sorts of high tech methods to see what the naked eye can't. Bob has seen all sorts of physical stuff doctors with the best technology can't see, like nerve and brain damage.
As an aside, either the Merlin's journals aren't the originals or they are the two oldest leather bound books in the world by about 300 years and may be the first ever leather bound books by about 100 years (based on guesses of when Merlin exited the stage).

Do not discount that they have been kept and preserved by wizards all this time.. Do not discount that they were written by the most powerful wizard ever. Both things would be a huge factor in their preservation no matter how old. Consider they found in King Tut's tomb a bouquet or wreath of leaves, dry perhaps but in tact after a couple of thousand years. Some of the garments that were worn by the "Ice Man" who was found in the Alps after five thousand years were still in tact. So written by a wizard and kept safe by generations of wizards, yes, very possible they are the original.
Maz:
Pretty sure we can throw most of the rules out the door when it comes to Merlin anyway as he is definitively a time traveller as demonstrated by his construction of the Demonreach prison.

Exactly, and if Merlin wanted them preserved for all time, they would be preserved.
