C3: What will the Opera Wii Browser allow you to do outside surfing
the 'normal' Internet? Will there be any additional features/functionality?
(Wiiのオペラは一般サイトで何ができるの?追加機能とかあり?)
SH: Based on Opera 9 for Devices, the Wii browser will be not only able to
surf the full Internet, but execute Web applications using technologies
such as AJAX. In addition to the ability to use advanced services such as
Google Maps, third parties could theoretically develop Web applications
specifically for the Wii.
(ただ普通にネットできるだけじゃなくて、AJAXもOKさ。
Google Mapsとかも大丈夫、Wii用のWebアプリケーションも作れるよ)
C3: Will the Opera DS and Opera Wii browsers be able to communicate or interact in any way?
(オペラDSおよびオペラWiiブラウザーは任意の方法で通信するか対話することができるでしょうか。)
SH: Nintendo has not announced any plans for this, but it would be great to enable this.
(任天堂は、この計画を発表していません。しかし、これを可能にすることは素晴らしいでしょう。)
C3: Will the Opera Wii Browser be integrated into any games?
(Wiiのゲーム全てにオペラの機能が組み込まれるの?)
SH: In addition to being a full Web browser, Opera also serves as a
presentation engine for devices, such as set-top boxes.
This means that you it is possible to create dynamic Web-based
applications and user interfaces using Web technology running on
Opera avoiding the use of native code such as C++. Nintendo has not
released information on its specific use of Opera, but one can imagine
the possibilities of what a browser can deliver to a game on a console
that is always connected beyond simply browsing the Web.
(ブラウジングだけじゃなくて、STBのような機能まで付加するよ。
Webベースのアプリケーション・インタフェースも作れる。
任天堂は何も情報を出してないけど、もしかしたらゲームとの連携
の際、サイト閲覧以上のことができるかもしれない)
うゎお
C3: Many users have expressed concerns over typing using the Wii controller.
How are you aiming to get around this?
(Wiiコンでの文字入力、みんな不安がってるけど、どういう実装するの?)
SH: Opera has gotten over this hurdle on many devices before, even for the
Nintendo DS. On the DS, Opera is utilizing the touch screen, navigating with
a stylus and inputting information with the on-screen keyboard. Many devices
that do not have an external keyboard use an on-screen keyboard Opera
works quite well in this way. We have been working closely with Nintendo
to find the best way to overcome this challenge on Wii.
(オペラはDSを初めとした色々な機器に乗っている。例えばDSでは
タッチスクリーン上のソフトキーボードで入力できる。今までキー
ボードのない機器でもオペラはソフトキーボードで対処してきたし、
Wiiでも任天堂と密接に強力して最適な入力方法を模索している)
…訳はいい加減なのであまり信じすぎないように。
C3: Will the browser be issued with all Wii consoles
or will you purchase it separately?
(ブラウザはWiiに同梱?別売り?)
SH: As mentioned before, Opera will not be sold separately on a game
cartridge for Wii. We would like all Wii users to be able to use Opera
to surf the Internet. The details of how exactly Opera will be available
for browsing within Wii have not yet been announced by Nintendo.
(別売りのディスクは出さないよ。
Wiiユーザみんなにオペラを使ってもらいたいし。
でも任天堂から詳細は出てない)
C3: What kind of functionality can we expect from the browser
(e.g. Macromedia flash support, Javascript, etc)?
(フラッシュとかJavaScriptとかはサポートされます?)
SH: Opera for Wii will support all the same Web standards that are
included in Opera 9 for PCs and Macs. This desktop beta version is
available now at this link. This version does include Javascript.
Whether plug-ins such as Flash will be supported in Opera on Wii
has not yet been announced. Stay tuned!
(PC用のOpera9で使える標準機能は対応するつもり。今あるβ版でも
もうJavaScriptは対応済み。Flashとかのプラグイン対応は未発表ね。
それじゃ今後も注目よろしく!)
てわけで、重要っぽい部分だけ抜き出して大まかに訳してみた。
> Opera also serves as a presentation engine for devices, such as set-top boxes.
の下りが、このスレ的には一番重要なポイントかな。
もうはっきりとSTB的なことやっちゃうって宣言してるし。
それがゲームと密接に連携するかも知れないとか言ってるし。
