Opera Found a Smarter Way to Break the Language Barrier

Opera Found a Smarter Way to Break the Language Barrier

Byte-Sized Brief

  • Built-in translation comes to Opera browsers.
  • Opera One upgrades its Split Screen mode.
  • Opera GX adds custom animated cursors.

Now, when you land on a page in another language, Opera One and Opera GX will ask if you want it translated. That’s thanks to Opera Translate, a new AI feature rolling out to both desktop browsers that uses “natural and accurate language processing” to make reading foreign content much easier. It supports 40+ languages and runs directly on Opera’s European servers, so none of your content is sent to third-party services. You can choose to translate just one page or set it to always handle certain languages going forward.

But that’s not the only update announced today. Opera One is upgrading its Split Screen mode to let you access more tools like the Music Player and downloads, and letting you group those split views inside Tab Islands. Plus, Opera GX is leaning into customization with a first-of-its-kind feature: fully animated mouse cursors you can swap out instantly, with over 30 cursor packs available upon launch.

The Bottom Line

Opera has added a native translation feature to Opera One and Opera GX that makes reading foreign websites easier; no extensions needed. The update also brings split-screen upgrades to Opera One and fun animated cursors to Opera GX.
