It's still going on to improve the quality but anyways we now have new, localized MyOpera smile
I used to write here in English, but now we can set Japanese (日本語) UI. It's quite important, because some of the new MyOpera users access here with Game Console, like Wii. I heard Wii has pre-set link to MyOpera, so even Japanese children can use MyOpera, then previously they might surprise to see English contents.

Different from some other countries, we have over 120 millions' population in our isolated islands, so almost everything is translated into our native language. We can live without using or even knowing another languages in daily life at all, including the most of specilized documents. It must be good indeed, but it sometimes hinders us to communicate the people around the world.
We had Japanese MyOpera forum of which UI was English for a while, and at last,we have forum all in Japanese! As I wrote above, we know it still has several issues, but it will be solved by our experts both in Oslo and Tokyo, for they work too hard for us.
Kudos to engineers and translators.

Who looks here?

[From the comments by Haavard, the below stats shows global "their" numbers, not this blog's]

I have thought that MyOpera was viewed by mainly Opera users, but it was not.
For a while, we have access analysys of HitsLink here. I have not cared about those kinds of statics so much, but for the first time I checked it, as shown below;

Can Opera's Widgets survive?

, , ,

Recently, returning from Widgets Live! in San Francisco, hefa, an Opera developer at Tokyo, posts a blog article, a personal one, of course, about the future of Opera's Widgets.

In reality, as he wrote, MS Gadgets would dominate the Desktop, we must admit that. He wrote several proposals, along with the picture of Chaals' presentation with mobile phone at conference, which is so wonderful.

Especially at "how do opera widgets win teh interweb?" section, people at Opera should think them, without any jokes. Yes, he never wrote a jokes, at least this time, I think. I talked to him on opera irc and met him at jp.opera, when I visited Friday Beer Time:beer: last month.
