Mate Translate for Opera

The incommensurable resources the Internet puts at your disposal are quite intimidating, especially when you realize you need a cultivated background in order to discern between them and eventually digest them.

One of the first barriers you need to break is the one imposed by the language you speak. Getting access to any article, regardless of the language it was written in, could make a difference, and Mate Translate for Opera is a browser extension that promises just that.

As made clear by its name, the Opera addon is capable of translating text in the blink of an eye, with about 100 languages being supported.

Once you install the software utility, a new icon pops out in the browser toolbar. Clicking it allows you to indicate the languages you want to work with, and automatic detection is provided for a plus of convenience.

Discovering the program’s capabilities is best done by inspecting its “Settings” section. Here you can see that double-click translation is offered for separate words. What’s more, context menu integration is among the goodies the browser extension provides and that opens a tooltip prompting you with synonyms or full translations.

If, however, you don’t find the version you are provided with satisfactory, resorting to Google Translate is possible. An interesting alternative is to request a human translation if you feel like something sounds peculiar.

Aside from that, the addon is able to translate a text immediately after typing the end, and autocorrect functionality is integrated as well. For ease of navigation, support for shortcuts is provided, with multiple options being provided in this regard. Users may also want to know that text-to-speech capabilities are included on the list of features.

On an ending note, Mate Translate for Opera is an easy-to-use browser extension that should help you translate words and phrases between an impressive number of languages. The addon offers an approachable environment that requires little time to get accustomed to, so taking it for a spin could be a good idea.

If, however, the addon's capabilities have caught your eye, but you are not an Opera user, you may be happy to know that Chrome and Firefox editions are available for download as well.
