Hi guys!

When I launch Opera after booting, the default language (French) is run.
However, when I launch Opera automatically at booting (startup application), the language is English.
In my setting, my preferred languages is French and I remove all other languages.
If I restart Opera, the correct langague is French.

opera.desktop is setting : Exec=opera --lang=fr %U

Any ideas?
Thank a lot

Didn't test, but putting an Opera.desktop file in the "~/.config/autostart" folder might do the trick.

Opera.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=opera --lang=fr
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Opera
Comment=Start Opera at login

I tested this on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 with 2 different ways.

For the first way, I went in the start menu, right-clicked on the Opera shortcut and chose "Add to desktop". Then, I moved that opera.desktop file from my desktop to "~/.config/autostart". I then, right-clicked on it, went to properties and changed the command to opera --lang=fr %U and that worked. When I logged in, Opera started automatically and in French.

For the second way, in "~/.config/autostart", I created the opera.desktop file in Text Editor with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Opera
GenericName=Web browser
Comment=Fast and secure web browser
TryExec=opera
Exec=opera --lang=fr %U
Terminal=false
Icon=opera
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;application/x-opera-download;
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=New Window
Exec=opera --new-window
TargetEnvironment=Unity

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=New Private Window
Exec=opera --incognito
TargetEnvironment=Unity

After the file was created, I right-clicked on it, went to "Properties", switched to the "Permissions" tab and checked "Allow to execute this as a program" and that worked. When I logged in, Opera started automatically and in French.
