@kocis2023 Hi Kocis, it was enough for me to edit the application file each time Opera release an update. I imported my bookmarks in Firefox and uninstalled Opera from all my devices.

Create create folders, select edit launcher to provide desktop.
Type opera %U --lang=(your lang) in the command line and save it.
With this shortcut you have created on your desktop, the transponders are opened in Opera Your Lang
Example:
Type opera %U --lang=tr -

Greetings to all, I solved it by renaming the file en-US.pak to en-US_bak.pak and then I renamed the file es.pak to en-US.pak and I now have opera in Spanish

Hello,
I use Fedora 38 Workspace (Gnome). I have tried all the solutions here, but there is no solution. Opera One is still in default language. Is there any other method other than these that I should do? -

[Hello,
Neither in the stable version nor in the dev version am I successful in carrying out the procedures I found on the internet (and those in this forum as well).][For example, access the settings and set Portuguese as the preferred language.]
[My Operating System is in Portuguese natively.
Below are the versions I'm currently using of the OS and Opera (with all updates available to date):]

[I just reviewed the region and language settings and they are all in Brazilian Portuguese.]

@the-codifier said in Can't change UI language. No option "Display opera in that language":
I had the same issue when I recently installed Opera Stable on Fedora 36 KDE. My native language is spanish, so I will use this language on this tutorial. Probably it will work for all Linux distros.
- Go to this route on your File Manager /usr/share/applications
- In this route, you find many files with .desktop extension. These are the icons you use to open the programs. Find the Opera Browser one (usually called opera.desktop)
- Right click on it and open with your favorite text editor (I use Kate in KDE)
- The first section must look like these
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Opera GenericName=Web browser Comment=Fast and secure web browser TryExec=opera Exec=opera %U Terminal=false Icon=opera
Locate the line Exec
5. Add the text lang=your language after the word opera. Example for spanishExec=opera --lang=es %U
- Write the --lang flag in all places where you find Exec on the file
- Save the changes on file. Probably the text editor claim you for the super user (root) password. Type it.
- Double click on Opera icon. Your browser now opens on the language you selected.
The reason of this is: Opera is charged with all the languages, but the instruction that launches must be declared with the flag --lang to be opened on the language you want.
I hope I have been helpful.
Thanks, though the topic is old, in my case it was helpfull and it worked!
