Translator

Translator is the translation application that performs an instant translation of words, phrases and text. It translates between more than 100 languages using the Google Translate provider. 

Google Translate application can be run in two modes:

  • from the browser's toolbar
  • as a standalone application

  • select text with the mouse, then click  icon_16x16 Google Translate button on the Opera toolbar.
    The selected text will be transferred to the original text window, and the translation appears in the translation pane.

  • click   icon_16x16 Google Translate button on the Opera toolbar without selecting text with the mouse.
    If you have "Save recent work" option enabled, your last input text will be saved for future use.  After you re-opened the application, the latest entered text will be retrieved and displayed in the original text window.
    Otherwise, you will see an empty text window.  You can type in or paste your text to translate.

With any movement of the mouse or click outside of the translation window, the translation application closes.

If you want to keep the translation application open, use Translator as a standalone application. It will stay open on your screen until you close it manually.

Translator and Dictionary Tabs

The Translator application switches between the Translator and Dictionary modes using the corresponding tabs.

GT-Translator-Dictionary

 

If you enter a single word,  Google Translate automatically switches to the Dictionary mode provided the "Enable Dictionary" option is selected.
The dictionary's translations displays alternative translations along with the parts of speech, reverse translations, and voice, if available.  Google Translate remembers the translation provider you used before Dictionary.  If you switch back to the Translator mode, Google Translate displays one regular translation of a searched word.
