Viewing Contents Written in Regional languages like Punjabi,Hindi,Bangla,Kannada in Opera Mini

Most of the Older Cell Phones like Nokia S60 3rd edition and 5th Edition or even some older version of android too do not support Indian regional languages like Hindi,Punjabi,Kannada etc.In that case while surfing over the internet from phone you cannot see or read the text written in these regional languages. Instead of the text written in regional language you just see the small boxes. So here is a solution by which you can read the text written in regional languages over web pages on your phone even your phone does not support that regional language. The most popular and most commonly used mobile internet browser opera and opera mini provides the solution.All you just have to do are the following steps to perform on your phone:

1. Install opera or opera mini web browser on your phone according to your phone. By default even opera mini or opera too do not show the regional language text. It also shows boxes instead of regional language text written in regional language. You would have to perform some power user settings in order to view regional language text on your phone. Follow the next steps to perform these settings.
2. In the opera or opera mini web browser address bar  write config: 
   
   
                           
3. This would open an power user setting page.
4. On the power user setting page scroll down to bottom of page. There you would found setting for "Use Bitmap fonts for complex script" which by default would be set to "No".
5. Change this setting to Yes.
                                             
                                
6. Click on Save.
   
   
    Now you can see and read the text written in regional languages.

How It Works:

     Whenever opera mini loads the page after this settings it converts the font written in complex scripts to bitmap font which is displayed as an bitmap image on page.

Advantages and Disadvantages

However this settings enables you to read the text written in regional language it has certain disadvantages and limitations too.

As the written regional language text is shown as bitmap it takes longer time to load the page which contains regional language text.

And it is not possible to copy that text and reuse it by pasting somewhere else.

         But remember Something Is Better Than Nothing.
