Google Adds Native Translation Feature to Gmail for Android and iOS
Gmail for Android and iOS devices finally launched a native translation capability that detects a language and translates the email automatically. The feature has been a staple on the desktop version and is currently compatible with 100 languages.
Google announced the exciting news on its Workspace Updates blog, saying that it’s been a “highly requested feature” for mobile users. Previously, if users wanted to translate an email, they had to either copy and paste the content into Google Translate or take a screenshot and upload it to Google Lens.
The new translation feature aims to provide Gmail users with a seamless and convenient way to communicate across languages on their mobile devices. Now, instead of using external translation tools, users can rely on Gmail to translate their emails automatically, with support for a wide range of languages.
To translate a message on mobile, users click the “Translate” option located in the three-dot overflow menu at the top-right corner of an email. This allows users to easily choose their desired output language. Additionally, users have the option to customize their translation settings to match their preferred Gmail display language.
This feature has a multi-purpose functionality, making it useful for individuals who communicate in multiple languages. Users can even opt out of translation for certain languages, preventing the translation banner from popping up for those specific languages.
Android users can look forward to the gradual rollout of this feature in the next two weeks. For iOS device users, the translation integration will be available starting on August 21. These dates mark the beginning of an era where Gmail becomes an even more inclusive and accessible platform for users worldwide.
The launch of native translation functionality for Gmail on Android and iOS devices has been a highly anticipated development. With this new feature, Gmail users can seamlessly communicate across languages, removing the need for external translation tools. By providing compatibility with 100 languages, Google ensures that the diverse linguistic needs of its users are met.
Google acknowledges the user demand for native translation in Gmail and has responded to their needs by incorporating this feature. By offering a convenient and integrated translation solution within the Gmail app, users can engage more efficiently and effectively with their emails, regardless of the language barrier. This feature empowers users to communicate with a wider audience and fosters inclusivity in digital communication.
