Search Criteria

The top part of the screen offers search options that you may use to control the display of objects to be translated, imported, copied, or exported. Enter your search options, then select the Search button. To remove a previous set of search options (except the Language option) and start over, select the Clear button.

Note: In all the “wildcard” fields, the % can be used to represent any one or more characters in your search.

Language. The Language field is used to search and view on a translated language. When the Language field is set to E (English) or left blank, the upper grid of the Translation screen displays translatable objects in Opera's default language, English. If another language is selected, the upper grid shows the translations into that language. The lower grid shows all other language translations for the object that is highlighted in the upper grid.
