Earlier this month, we reported how Google is working on a new Gmail feature that will allow the app to translate emails into your native language (the language you have set on your device as default). Now, that feature is finally rolling out to the app on both Android and iOS. However, it is worth noting that in its current stage, it is a server-side update and has only been rolled out to select beta users. So, if you have not received it yet, you can enroll in the beta period and wait for the feature to be enabled for everyone.
Google is finally making Gmail much more convenient for those who don't speak multiple languages
For those wondering, the Gmail version 2023.07.23.x is the one on both Android and iOS that is receiving the update. However, as mentioned before, it is not available to everyone, so it might be some time before it widely rolls out to everyone.
Not much needs to be said about this feature, but if you didn't check out the previous post, it simply adds an ability in Gmail that can translate an email to your preferred language. This is a convenient feature for people who don't speak multiple languages but work in a field where they have to interact with people from all over the world over email. Thanks to this feature, Gmail users will no longer have to manually translate the emails they have received since they can easily translate from within the app.
Once available, the feature will be available within the three-dot menu once you open an email. It will then bring up another banner allowing the Gmail app to detect the language, or you can choose from a list of languages from a menu. This feature is something that will be helpful for people who don't speak multiple languages, so if you happen to be the person who doesn't, then this feature is for you.
Considering how the beta version of Gmail already has this feature, you can expect the rollout to grow more expansive in the coming days and weeks, and before you know it, it will finally hit the stable channel as well. We will keep you posted as this feature develops more. Until then, stay tuned!
