Opera Mobile 10 beta: Updated multi-language build available

Opera Mobile 10 beta: Updated multi-language build available

Hello,
There are now updated builds available at http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/ - or http://m.opera.com/mobile/ from your mobile phone.

The multi-language build includes a font package covering a lot of Asian languages. Both builds are updated with a fix for font handling, so that devices which have the necessary system fonts can show Asian characters in the page content correctly.

Support for Asian characters in the page content will depend on device locale and available system fonts. Support for Asian characters in UI elements (e.g. history, page title, bookmarks, dropdowns, etc) is only for devices with Asian locale, using the multi-language build.

Known exceptions: Thai, Hindi (no support for Thai, Hindi characters in UI elements, but web content should be ok)

Please report any problems and feedback related to the multi-language build in this thread. Thank you for testing Opera Mobile 10 beta

It works well on my Nokia E63 now Posting using my phone now actually. Thank you very much Opera

Edit: I've been using OMobile for more than half an hour with only one tab open. Memory is down from around 57MB to only 26MB. Is this normal?

Has the RAM issue been fixed in this release ?

When you say multi-language, you are referring to English-Asian or multi-language is really all languages multi-language?

Does multi-lingual build features Cyrillic virtual keyboard?

helenel can you please explain if the multi-language is English-Asian only?

it uses less ram now.i reckon about 20mb and i have never got memory error till now.also its faster and more stabil.

i want to ask something.what is the different between v280 and 281 ?

280 is the english version and 281 is the one with support for phones with asian characters

Geesh.. Opera Mobile seems far more RAM hoggy for me after using Firefox Mobile

@helenel It does give less memory errors, but instead crashes without any errors whenever it goes to low on RAM. Still there is an issue since a certain competing browser with as much standards compliance can manage RAM far more well.

Wrong shortcuts' instruction :help shortcuts----the last but one :cycle taps left shoule be "←" not "↑". please revise it in the next version. thank you! I love opera mobile.

surely a new entry for this should be made on the blog at http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/ ?? - just like they do at desktopteam... is there any problem with doing this??

On my Nokia E63, the exclamation marks (!) look just like the letter 'l'

Wow, that's an incredibly detailed and useful problem report. I mean, who needs basic information like phones you tested, platforms, amount of RAM and other trivial details that people who are actually interested in giving useful feedback would include without having to be asked for it?

You have tested the S60 version of Fennec then, presumably? Or did you install Opera Mobile 10 on the N900?

Surely you aren't testing Opera on one phone, and then you are testing Fennec on a different device with what, twice the RAM and on a completely different platform? No, surely not, because that would be trolling and you surely don't engage in that kind of thing, do you?

not sure what you guys mean by support for asian language but Nepali site/font was already working in previous version, think its update and better support.

helenel, thank you for your detailed explanation.

@Purdi: maybe miyuru was talking about O3.

good thing,now only if nokia releases some indian fonts

I mentioned a certain *competing* browser. It is Ozone. Firefox does not compete with Opera Mobile except on Windows Mobile.

impressive... certainly reduced the OOM.. rarely get one of those... also the shortcut to reach the top of the page"pressing the red bar" has started working in this relese!!!

Good morning,

I tested the new opera on my Nokia N97 and generally liked.

still has some incompatibilities to write the symbols as ".", "@", etc.. I can only write the symbols on the touch screen keyboard.

You still have one thing I still can not connect to my cell in any browser that is to logmein. I enter the page but when I click to enter the PC is the page blank.

If by chance anyone knows how to access my pc from home by logmein on nokia N97 please tell.

I've download opera mobile 10,, but the prog. D0esnt work,, it said error.. Why? My device n0k 5320xm

Thanks for this OpDevs, my old Eastern import N82 is now rendering pages in English just as Opera Mini does. (Only better!) I've discovered however that I can crash Opera Mobile 10 Beta on cue. Here's how:

When entering text, the 0 key on my keypad highlights the available characters as: _0[]

Accidental selection of this final square emblem that appears to indicate a null character through in-line editing will cause Opera Mobile to vaporise before my very eyes.

Whilst I'm attempting to leave constructive feedback here I would like to venture that simply highlighting the 'url bar' or 'search box' should really allow for direct text entry without activation first. It seems redundant to click within it when you already have the field highlighted on a keypad based phone.

Secondly, why do we need the 'search box' at all? Borrowing from the Opera Desktop browser we should be able to add/edit engines and create shortcuts akin to its bigger brother in one combined text entry field. (eg: 'g search term')

Simply adding a 'Search' category to the 'Copy/Paste' secondary command of this (combination) url bar could forseeably trigger the engine selection list should a user wish to pick the engine by hand instead of using it's keyword. This would eliminate that double field along the top of Opera Mobile that is found awfully cramped on smaller/older screens.

I hope the availabilty of a a similarly styled 'Add Search' function through a secondary command of website text fields will appear in the final Opera Mobile 10. Again, a much loved and very simple function of its bigger brother that would aid in simple usability and navigation efficiency even more-so on the mobile platform.

Thanks for your time.

The OPERA popup keyboard does not support Greek. So there is no way to type in something in Greek, since it does not give the alternative to use the internal mobile phone keyboard options.
Nokia 5800 has three ways to type something and none of these is available.
Is there a workarround?

Me again. Below are some more observations and suggestions through continued usage of the Beta on my N82. I hope that they're found to be useful.

- [* Down] shortcut should close the browser when all other tabs are closed.

- [* Down Held] for a second to close the browser regardless of open tabs. Similarly [* Up Held] could be used to reload the active tab, and [* Left/Right Held] could be used to go back and forward within each tab. These seem like intuitive extra uses for the existing shortcut commands to me. More-so than the easily forgettable [* Digit] or [# Digit] alternatives.

- In number selection forms, the keypad on keypad mobiles should still function for tactile number entry, it seems silly for it not to.

- Opera Turbo... isn't. Possibly due to the current inability to choose image quality when compared to Mini?

- Full screen mode doesn't appear to offer anything visual for page/request activity which is quite frustrating.

- Accelerometer support would be a welcome addition.

Thank you so much gde700 for your help.
You were right. Though I liked Opera's pop up keyboard. I would like to see there an option for Greek.

Same issue for me with English/Russian/Hebrew languages on Nokia E52
Is this the issue, or Opera mobile supports English input charset only?
