OSLO - October 17, 2005 - Opera Software today announced the availability of its browser in both Hindi and Punjabi.
"The Web must become more accessible to people wherever they live and whichever language they speak," said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "Browser companies bear responsibility for allowing all people to access this amazing resource. Barriers such as language make the Internet less of a global resource than it could be.
