How to translate a page in Opera from English to Russian
It is difficult for users who do not know English well to interact with foreign sites. However, with the help of special tools, you can translate any page in a couple of mouse clicks. Today we will talk about how to translate a page in Opera from English into Russian.
The described methods are not only suitable for the Opera browser. Other popular browsers also have a number of unique extensions, and online services can be used in any program.
Special Extensions
So, first, let's look at browser extensions that allow you to easily translate the content of sites. Opera has a proprietary catalog of free plug-ins that are installed into the program with a couple of clicks. You can independently choose the extension you like using the search if you open this link. We suggest you familiarize yourself with a couple of handy extensions so that you do not waste time searching.
The first option is Google Translate. The plugin has a huge database of words, phrases, as well as ready-made web pages with optimal translation. Allows you to allocate up to 5 thousand characters for a one-time translation. There is also a built-in ability to voice text with a speech synthesizer. You can install the plugin from this link. Click on the "Add to Opera" button, after which the add-on icon will appear on the top bar of the browser.
Now let's figure out how to use the service:
- Open an English site and select the part of the page you want to translate with the mouse.
- Through the context menu, select the Google Translate option.
- Specify the service that will be used for this translation.
- After that, an additional window with a translator will open. The original text will be at the top, and the translation will appear at the bottom.
An alternative translator option is Page Translator. Its main difference is that the translated text is immediately embedded into the page, replacing the original. You need to open an English site and then click on the plugin icon. Two options will appear in the menu that opens: "Translate" and "Original". Click on the translate button. After a couple of seconds, the text on the page will be replaced with Russian. To return to the original version, click the button that appears at the top of the tab.
