Google is the owner of some of the most widely used products and services in the world. After Google Search itself, Gmail is perhaps the company’s most successful product with all things having been considered and taken into account. It turns out that Google is bringing a much-needed translation feature to Gmail. This will support over 100 languages, allowing users to read emails in their native tongue.
This feature will be brought to both Android as well as iOS apps for Gmail, and Google will automatically detect your language preferences and adjust your emails based on them. With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that users can also turn this feature off if they so choose. There will be a menu consisting of three dots that will enable them to turn the feature on or off based on whatever their preferences happen to be.
Users will also be able to set whatever language they want to read emails in. Some might not want to use the same language as their display preference, and this option gives them the ability to have full control over the feature in question.
Microsoft has offered translation services as well through Outlook. Gmail’s latest update will put it on par with its rival, although it enjoys a healthy lead over its Microsoft created competitor product. Android users might already be receiving this feature thanks to Google’s rollout, whereas iOS users might need to wait until their rollout begins on the 21st of August.
Users will notice a banner asking if they would like to translate an email whenever they open it up. They can also turn this banner off permanently through the aforementioned three dot menu, which contains all of the controls for this feature as well. The rollout of this feature will likely be a significant event because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up improving the usability of Gmail and setting new standards for email apps in general. Other competitors might also follow suit.
