Most people get attracted to the Opera browser because it is safe and reliable. It has also outshone Chrome in several aspects and many prefer it over Chrome.
With Opera rolling out regular updates all the time, it is bound to have an update for translating a webpage that is not in a language you know or understand.
With everything going online and international, we are bound to stumble upon websites that are not in English. In such a case, the Opera Browser has the extension support to keep you afloat.
The day before yesterday, my younger sister was applying for colleges online. She was also looking at French Universities to apply to. However, not all of them had their instructions written in English on their website.
My sister got paranoid and gave up all hope of applying to this college. Unless I introduced her to Google Translate add-on within Opera browser.
Translate a Web Page on Opera
We often come across websites or manuals on international websites that are not in our native language or any other language that we seem to comprehend. It may cause inconvenience since a lot of important information can be left out due to the language barrier.
With the Google Translate – Opera browser add-on, we can actually translate the webpage into a known language. Though this not officially supported by Google, the developer has very much integrated what we need into this add-on or extensions. However, there are certain limitations like every other translation service does; it cannot translate the text within the images or picture.
Here are the steps to translate a webpage on the Opera Browser:
- Launch the Opera Browser on the computer.
- Click on the Menu
in the top-left corner. - Click on Extensions from the drop-down list, and select Get Extensions.
You will see the Opera add-ons store in a new tab. - Search for Google Translate in the add-on search bar (added the direct link below).
- Click on on the right corner.
- Select Google Translate add-on from the plugin add-ons.
A dialog box will open for translation. - Paste the phrase or sentence you want to translate, and then click the button.
Alternatively, you can open the desired foreign website, and select the text you want to be translated for you. By doing so, Google Translate automatically recognizes it for you and translates the text to your desired language.
We can also use the keyboard shortcut — + + to auto-translate entire webpage within Opera browser.
These methods will help in the successful translation of any web page that you want. If you want the process to be less cumbersome, you can select or copy a long piece of content or use the keyboard shortcuts and your job will be done in a few minutes.

Ctrl-Alt-P didn’t work for me, and could not find any other option to translate a page.
So for me – useless.
Sorry about that.
Cheers.
Hi Steve, the extension seems to be broken. The shortcut is neither working for me. However, you can invoke the translator using Ctrl+Alt+Z keys.
Works perfectly for me using Cntrl+Alt+P 🙂
Super!
ctrl alt p doesn’t work, which is the only thing I want
Do you have any extensions that block the function keys?
