Translate Emails Automatically In Gmail!
Gmail today has announced an important feature: automatic email message translation. Google Translate product manager Jeff Chin announced the availability of the service through #-Link-Snipped-# on Google blog. The service was available in the Gmail Labs and after some real-life testing, Google's engineers have decided to move the app into the real world, making it an integral part of Gmail.
Say you get an email in Chinese, you will see a 'Translate' button in the header area of your email. Click on that button and Gmail will begin translating your email in the language of your choice (the default will be the one you've set up in your account settings). If you don't need the translation service, you may simply turn it off in the account settings.
Those of you who love Chrome are already aware that Google Chrome browser offers translation whenever it finds a non-English page. The service works absolutely great and if I'm not mistaken is capable of translating the messages in Gmail as well, without needing a separate translator. The service of course users Google Translation tools in the backend. If you use this service, do share your opinion and thoughts with the rest of us through comments on this post.

Ankita KatdareI think the google-chrome translate feature doesn't work for emails, that is why they developed this facility. Not sure though. Will check and report back here.

Ankita KatdareGoogle translate messes up the grammar (at least for Japanese). But its good for translating short phrases.
-
Sarbojit@Abra: It not only messes up Japanese grammar but also for Finnish and to some extent German.

Indeed. It is not useful at all. They should definitely do a better job out of that service.Sarbojit@Abra: It not only messes up Japanese grammar but also for Finnish and to some extent German. -
SarbojitGood thing is that I know a bit of German but Finnish is nightmare (15 cases compared to English, just 2)
(Wonders how did Torvalds write Linux!!!) -
Kaustubh Katdare#-Link-Snipped-# : Good for you. But for the rest of us who're stuck with just 2-3 regular languages; Google Translate is a Godsend. But I just checked that Google Chrome didn't offer to translate email messages written in different language out of the box. I like the new facility in Gmail 👍

SarbojitI will verify this feature tonight itself.
Off topic: are you the one playing in CE channel of Youtube? Why don't we open a forum for Guitar/Music related stuff in CE? -

The chit-chat section is all yours for everything. -
Anoop Kumarproducts of google like maps and translate, they just created and let the users to enhance it.
In translate when you got a wrong result you can just modify the result and by this way it's being accurate more and more.
I remember that few years ago translate was just a mess but now improved much.
Like this way in google maps users make map using #-Link-Snipped-#and google moderators approve it to go on live.
I think google strategy is to offer free service, get free service (paste a ad) and earn money.😨
