I really hope Vivaldi improves its translation feature. The English-to-Vietnamese translation quality is currently quite poor, especially the highlight-to-translate function, which often translates word by word in a very stiff and unnatural way. It makes the reading experience feel awkward compared to other browsers. Aside from that, the browser itself is excellent — very stable, highly customizable, and visually beautiful.

Opera has one of the best web translation systems available today. Its strength is not only the translation quality but also how natural and seamless the experience feels. You can simply highlight text to translate it instantly without disrupting the page layout or breaking your reading flow. When reading English materials — especially technical PDFs, research papers, or programming documentation — this feature becomes incredibly useful because it helps you understand content quickly without constantly copying text into Google Translate.

What makes it even better is combining Opera with PDF.js Viewer. This allows you to open PDFs directly in the browser with clean text rendering, smooth scrolling, and selectable content, while still taking advantage of Opera’s instant translation features. The overall workflow feels surprisingly efficient for studying, researching, or reading complex English documents for long periods.

Of course, it is possible to install browser extensions for translation, but many of them either produce poor-quality translations or rely on AI-based systems with strict usage limits unless you pay for a subscription. Some extensions also feel slower, less integrated, or interrupt the reading experience with popups and extra steps. Opera’s built-in approach feels much smoother and more practical for daily use.

Many browsers support translation, but very few deliver such a smooth and integrated experience as Opera.
