      Hi

      it's much easier as discribed.
      In this case Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3
      Opera Flatpak Version

      Got to your Startmenu all your way to the entry of the opera browser
      right-click it an go on properties and add "-lang=Your Language ID"
      as you can see in the screenshot below and your are done without messing with folders

        On Ubuntu:

        • close opera

        • open terminal

        cp /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
        
        nano ~/.local/share/applications/opera.desktop
        
        • change the line:
          Exec=opera %U
          to:
          Exec=opera --lang=[language_code] %U
          where: [language_code] is example: pl

        • save and close the file

        • open opera 😉

        • enjoy

            I found a solution for my environment:

            • I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
            • Opera rel. 114.0.5282.21 (snap version)
              I added --lang=it (my preferred language) to the command line used by opera launcher

              Great: it works fine!!!😁 😁 😁

            Now I will test Ubuntu 24.04.4 over my laptop and over VMVirtualMachine, but I'm optimist ...

                many thanks!

                I edited the file with an editor and was able to change the language.

                /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/opera_opera.desktop

                  @yokoopera - always work on a copy of the activator

                  cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/opera_opera.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

                    Can't still change the language except for the method submitted earlier... Did you have any plan to let us do it from the Opera Settings?

                        Sorry for the late reply.

                        I have already uninstalled the snap version and am using the apt(deb) version.

                        I think your information will be useful when I switch to the snap version in the future.

                        Thank you!
