Opera Software has today released its Opera 11.10 browser, which now supports Afrikaans.
The new browser is also said to offer improvements to the Speed Dial and Opera Turbo features.
According to statistics, 10 million South African citizens speak isiZulu as their first language, eight million isiXhosa, four million Sesotho sa Leboa and 6.5 million Afrikaans.
Opera is the latest software provider to increase its language capacity to include South African-based languages.
At the end of March, Mozilla's Firefox 4 added support for isiZulu. The browser is now available in several South African languages, including isiZulu, Northern Sotho, South African English and Afrikaans.
Part of Microsoft's Citizenship Outreach is the company's translation of software packages into local languages. The software company's partnership over the years with local translation vendor, Web-lingo, has seen the successful translation of its software and operating systems into the four language streams of Afrikaans, isiXhosa, isiZulu and Sesotho sa Leboa.
