 OPERA TRANSLATION 
----------------------
         
Greetings!

If you are interested in translating Opera into
another language, please contact Christian Dysthe,
chrisd@operasoftware.com  for more information.


THE BASICS
==========

A localized version of Opera consists of these components:

1) The language file (that gets hard-coded into the .exe
   file) and in which the menus, error and status messages as 
   well as dialog boxes are listed.
 
2) The HTML-based help files

3) The Installation routine translation file 

4) The licence text file

5) Some other installation related files such as startup.txt 
   & install.wri


There are at present 25 files to be translated.
