User interface
Opera is available in many languages. Depending on the version of Opera you are using, you may have multiple languages pre-installed, or you may have only a single language. In either case, additional languages may be installed by downloading the appropriate language files.
To activate your language, select it from the menu under Tools > Preferences > General > Language. Once you press OK, the user interface should immediately change to the language of your choice, if the appropriate language file is included on your system.
If the language file of your choice is not pre-installed, you can install it manually. To see if Opera is available in your language, see the language files list, read the instructions, and download the appropriate file. Note that some localized versions have English help files.
Step by step
1. Download a new language file
2. Open Tools > Preferences > General > Details
3. Click the Choose button and select the language file you want Opera to use.
Web pages
A Web page is sometimes offered in more than one language. Opera can ask the server for a version in the language you prefer. Simply open Opera's Tools > Preferences > General and select a language.
For more control over preferred languages, press the Details button. Then press the Add... button and choose your language from the list. Use the Move up and Move down buttons to indicate your order of preference.
Multimedia
Turning images, video, and sound on/off
Select Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content to customize multimedia in Opera. Images, video, and sound can be enabled or disabled separately. Turning multimedia sound on/off will not affect system or event sounds.
Sounds
Enable event sounds
If you would like to associate sounds to different events while using Opera, you can do so using Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Notifications. From the list of events, select the one for which you would like Opera to play a sound. Click the Choose... button and browse until you find the desired sound file. Repeat this for each event, and click OK.
Turning event sounds on/off will not affect system or multimedia sounds.
