OSLO, Norway – April 8th, 2021: The web must be more accessible to people wherever they live and whatever language they speak. Breaking language barriers, the Vivaldi browser now supports the Kabyle language as its 80th language available on Windows, macOS, and Linux computers and notebooks.

Spoken widely in Algeria, France, and North America, especially in Canada, Kabyle speakers can browse with Vivaldi’s rich features and use the web on their own terms, easily and privately.

More than 10 million people speak the Kabyle language worldwide. Browser companies should bear the responsibility for allowing people to access the web. This language is not supported by most browsers, including Google Chrome. Vivaldi, only second to Firefox, now supports the Kabyle language and provides speed, usability, and regular security upgrades.

We believe that our job is to adapt to the needs of every user. We provide a lot of flexibility in the browser and that includes supporting as many languages as possible. With great support from users, we are able to integrate many languages in Vivaldi“, Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner says.

I am proud that we now support the Kabyle language. People take great pride in their language and want it supported, so we have a common goal.” 

Vivaldi, truly international. Working together with users across the globe.

At the moment, 120 volunteers from several dozen countries help with the translation of Vivaldi. It is thanks to them that Vivaldi “speaks” 80 languages. Together with dedicated translators in Kabyle, Vivaldi now has embarked on its 80th language.

Together with Vivaldi, our team of volunteers is giving back to our community by preserving our language. They can now browse the web with Vivaldi – a browser that is fully customizable, safe, and convenient,” says Slimane Selyan Amiri, Head of the Kabyle translation team.

We are thankful to Vivaldi and our strong team of translators for this integration or else preserving a not-so-widely spoken language runs the risk of getting doomed in the digital domain. We are also looking forward to getting the language support for Vivaldi on Android soon.”
