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.
