Opera One’s latest stable release brings two headline-grabbing features—an integrated webpage translator and a revamped Split Screen—along with a fresh coat of paint on its password manager.
With Opera Translate, you no longer have to juggle tabs or copy‑paste text into external services. Now, as soon as you land on a page in a foreign language, a discreet pop‑up invites you to translate the entire site into one of 40 supported languages—everything from Spanish and Japanese to Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Under the hood, this feature replaces the old Aria‑powered snippet translator, giving you full‑page translations at a click, and letting you pin a preferred target language or toggle translation on a per‑site basis.
Opera isn’t sending your browsing data to Big Tech. Thanks to a partnership with Lingvanex, all translation requests are handled on Opera’s European‑based servers, never touching third‑party platforms, and governed by some of the world’s strictest data‑protection laws. That means your private reading—whether you’re catching up on Japanese news or exploring German recipes—is kept between you and Opera.
Split Screen, introduced last year, now plays nicely with Tab Islands. You can launch any two pages as a cohesive island, drag a pair of tabs from one Island to another, or collapse an Island back into a side‑by‑side view—all without breaking your workflow. Toolbars in Split Screen have also been fine‑tuned: the right pane now surfaces key icons (Account, Easy Setup, Download, Extensions, pinned player), and hovering over either pane reveals quick‑access controls for Pinboards, Snapshot, Privacy Protections, Flow, and Bookmarks.
Opera’s built‑in password manager gets a sleek UI overhaul aimed at clarity and ease of use. The new pop‑up design lays out saved logins with bigger click targets, clearer site icons, and an improved layout for generating or updating passwords on the fly. It’s the little touches—like inline password‑strength meters and one‑click copy—that make signing in feel smooth again.
Built‑in web translation isn’t novel—Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all have their own solutions—but Opera’s privacy‑first approach and clean integration make it a strong alternative for users who value data protection without sacrificing convenience. Meanwhile, Split Screen’s tighter integration with Tab Islands cements Opera One’s reputation as the multitasker’s browser, perfect for comparing research, shopping side by side, or monitoring two live streams at once.
