change default translation site to Google Translate from Babelfish?
Is there a way to change the default right-click translate engine in Opera (I'm using 10.51) from Babelfish to Google Translate?If this has been covered, I'd appreciate a link to the thread but I have not seen any posts.
Thanks in advance for any help!
So far, all I've been able to find out is that if you go to 'search.ini' here:
C:\Program Files\Opera\defaults\search.ini
and go to (in my case - Opera 10.51) Search Engline 11 (English to French) you get

I changed this code to:

When I selected text, right-clicked, went to 'Translate' Opera went straight to Babelfish (English to French) again, even though I changed the code in search.ini when Opera was closed down and then restarted it.

Opera 10.00 has multiple search files in your installation folder. Normally you are using your localised version in /locale/.
If this folder does not exist or is empty Opera selects /locale/en as default. As last backup Opera would use the one in /defaults.
The other search file containing your custom/added searches is located in your profile folder.

What I always do on updates/reinstalls is rename the search.ini in \defaults\ and \locale\en\ - and use my own custom search.ini placed in opera\profile\
In this topic there is solution using editing user menu.ini.

Solution with search.ini is somewhat broken because
it relies on this variable: "Search Type" this variable cannot be changed via UI and is restarted with every "manage search engine". At least it was in some recent version. Now I didn't try.
